Jan. 16--Authorities have arrested a person in connection with last month's shooting death of a former European-league basketball player in northwest suburban Bloomingdale.
A male, whose age was not immediately known, is in custody at DuPage County Jail and is scheduled to appear in DuPage County bond court Friday morning, said Bloomingdale Chief of Police Frank Giammarese.
Specific charges were not available immediately.
Nate J. Fox was shot to death in the 200 block of Tamarack Lane in Bloomingdale while he was on his way home from work at 9:37 p.m. on Dec. 22, according to a police news release. Fox, 37, was taken to Adventist GlenOaks Hospital in Glendale Heights, where he later was pronounced dead.
In trying to find a motive for the shooting, police released a photo of a car similar to a maroon 2013 Jaguar XJ that Fox was driving before he was shot.
Fox, whose given name was Nathaniel, was a graduate of Plainfield High School, according to an obituary posted on the Carlson Holmquist-Sayles Funeral Home website.
The 6-foot-9 Fox received a basketball scholarship to Boston College but later transferred to the University of Maine, where he also played, according to the obituary. After graduating college, he played professionally throughout Europe from 2000 to 2012 and won a Belgian Cup title with the Okapi Aalstar club.
