O
rland Park police said Wednesday they have a man in custody in connection with the fatal shooting of an 18-year-old Rich Central High School senior at Orland Square Mall.
Members of the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force arrested 20-year-old Jakharr Williams in Matteson without incident, according to Orland Park Police Chief Tim McCarthy.
McCarthy said Williams, of University Park, will be held by Orland Park police until charges can be approved by the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.
Williams was being sought in connection with Monday’s shooting at the mall of Javon Britten, of Richton Park.
Police had obtained what is called a temporary homicide warrant in their hunt for Williams, McCarthy said.
Williams is suspected of shooting to death Britten near the mall’s food court Monday evening.
Britten was pronounced dead at an area hospital following the shooting Monday evening at the mall, northeast of LaGrange Road and 151st Street. His family has also called on Williams to turn himself in.
Police said that Britten and Williams knew each other, and that the shooting followed a confrontation between the two at the mall. Britten died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
