Shannon Brandt, 41, killed 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson early Sunday in McHenry with an SUV in an alley, KVRR-TV reported. He is charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly accident.

Court documents said he told a 911 dispatcher the teen was part of a Republican "extremist group" and was calling people to go after him following an unspecified political argument. 

Ellingson's mother told police her son called her before the crash, asking if she knew Brandt. She said she did but that she did not believe her son knew him. 

Brandt fled the scene of the incident and was arrested at his home.
