Orland Park, Ill., police identified the suspected gunman they say shot and killed an 18-year-old Richton Park man inside Orland Square Mall in Orland Park.
Police said that there is a manhunt underway for 19-year-old Jakharr Williams of University Park, who they said "should be considered armed and dangerous" and that he has an active parole warrant.
The shooting took place near the mall's food court and the victim was identified as Javon Britten. Police described the shooting as an "isolated incident." Another person in the mall suffered a graze wound during the shooting, police said.
Police said that Britten and Williams knew each other.
Police responded to a 6:45 p.m. call of shots fired near the food court of the mall and Britten was found near an escalator near H&M, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where he died. Another victim also was taken to Christ hospital. Police did not provide additional information about that victim.
In a message Tuesday, Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau said he and village trustees were offering their "condolences and good wishes to the victims and their families" and praised first-responders for their actions.
Police said that Britten was shot several times but did not offer a motive for the shooting.
