Kane County prosecutors say Valles drove to Carapia’s home in the 300 block of South Spencer Street, where someone jumped out of the vehicle and shot him to death.

Valles was arrested early Saturday morning when police raided a home after an hours-long standoff blocks away from the site of the shooting.
