Jose G. Matias, 18, was taken into custody “without incident” around 3:15 p.m. Wednesday in connection to the shooting where Joel Valdez was killed around 7 p.m. Friday at the Rosemont fashion outlet mall, Rosemont Police Sgt. Joseph Balogh said in a statement.

The Yankees’ players spent over an hour before Wednesday’s game watching as front office and team support personnel tried out their jobs. With the players laughing, and sometimes cheering, they watched as baseball operations, analytics, public relations and clubhouse workers took batting practice, raced around the bases and tried to catch pop-ups.

The effort is being led by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, who is a vice chair of the Democratic National Committee. The potential bid is also backed by U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and state Democratic Chair and U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly as part of a coalition with Chicago business, civic and labor leaders.
