CPD said a SWAT team responded after a firearm was found inside a room at the hotel. Responding officers took one person into custody without incident and recovered the gun.

The person has now been identified as 21-year-old Brandon Peck of Oakwood, Ohio, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Peck is facing two felonies charges for unlawful use of a weapon and an additional misdemeanor charge, the Cook County Assistant State's Attorney told ABC7.

The suspect appeared in court Wednesday. A judge ruled for Peck to be held in custody until his trial.

Additional details about the criminal charges approved by authorities were not immediately available.

Chicago police said the investigation is ongoing and did not immediately provide further information.

Former President Donald Trump was not in Chicago on Tuesday night, but he is expected to visit the city for an event next week.
