Police in southwest suburban Crestwood say the death of a local trucking company executive following a fire at his office was no accident, and they say a suspect in the case is now in custody in Michigan.

Crews were called on Wednesday to the offices of ATG Truckload, 13835 Kostner Avenue, for reports of a small fire. That's where they found president and chief executive officer Dane Koteski, 46, dead after suffering a cut to his neck.

Investigators say they quickly identified a suspect, who they say worked for Koteski. Police arrested that suspect at a truck stop in Holland, Michigan, which is about 140 miles from the crime scene. He's now in custody in Michigan, and prosecutors are expected to file charges once he's returned to Illinois.
