An 18-year-old Chicago resident was ordered held without bond Friday for allegedly killing one person and injuring a second in a shooting at the Fashion Outlets of Chicago.
Jose Matias was processed at the Rosemont police station Friday and took part in a hearing where a Cook County judge denied bond, authorities said in a news release. Matias has been charged with first degree murder, attempted first degree murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm and aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.
The 18-year-old was taken into custody Wednesday, five days after the shooting that claimed the life of 20-year-old Joel Valdes, according to police.
Police say the shooting occurred near the food court on Friday night during a verbal altercation that escalated into violence. According to authorities, Matias was seen on surveillance video pulling out a weapon and shooting at Valdes, striking him.
