A few days later, Sims issued a statement, lamenting yet another senseless shooting of a young man in Illinois. The victim, 18-year-old Javon Britten of Richton Park, was gunned down near the food court and ran down the escalator of the mall before he collapsed near the store where Sims was shopping. Twenty-year-old Jakharr Williams, also of the south suburbs, was arrested two days later following a massive hunt and charged with unlawful possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. Police said the two men knew each other.
