Streamwood stabbing suspect Jalonie Jenkins arrested in Downers Grove, Illinois, police say
The suspect in a Streamwood stabbing that killed two sisters was arrested Sunday night in Downers Grove, police said. Police had been looking for 25-year-old Jalonie Jenkins since last Thursday, after the bodies of 21-year-old Janiya Jenkins and 10-year-old Eyani Jones were found in a home in the 1600 block of McKool Avenue last Wednesday night. Police confirmed Jenkins had been taken into custody late Sunday night in Downers Grove but did not offer any further details. Formal charges have not yet been filed. The brutal attack happened in the presence of other children, officials said. A neighbor, whose daughter was a close friend of Jones, said her daughter was on the phone with the victims when she heard a commotion from inside the home. She said the last thing her daughter heard was Janiya Jenkins saying, "Don't kill the kids." The neighbor said shortly after, two other kids who were inside the home came over to say their two sisters were dead. Police have not specified Jalonie Jenkins' relationship to the victims, but did say they believed it was an isolated incident. They located his care in Bensenville, Illinois, and had been searching for him since. No further details were released, but updates are expected throughout the day.

Tariffs, Falling Prices, And The Tipping Point For U.S. Oil Production
Gas prices are displayed at a gas station in Streamwood, Ill. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) For the first time in more than a decade, U.S. crude oil production is projected to decline in the coming year. That's not just a headline—it's a flashing warning light for policymakers, investors, and the broader economy. According to S&P Global, falling prices are already forcing drillers to scale back their operations, with the expectation that the U.S. is on course to see its first annual drop in domestic oil output since the fracking boom began. What's behind this reversal? A convergence of global economic uncertainty, rising OPEC+ production, and self-inflicted harm from the Trump administration's tariff campaign. The very tools meant to protect American industry could threaten its energy independence. S&P analysts recently issued a stark assessment that tariffs and weakening global growth are 'significantly cutting into global oil demand,' driving prices lower and forcing U.S. shale producers to hit the brakes. That drop in investment and activity is already visible. Rig counts are falling. Frac crew numbers are down. And capital budgets are being slashed. 'A price-driven decline in U.S. production would be a pivot point for the oil market—and set conditions for a potential price recovery,' said Jim Burkhard, S&P's head of crude oil research. But for the industry and the nation, that price recovery may come too late to stave off job losses, supply constraints, and a reduced geopolitical edge. President Trump has pointed to falling gasoline prices—now averaging $3.18 per gallon nationwide—as evidence that his economic policies are working. 'We're drilling like crazy,' he told NBC News last week. But that claim doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Rig counts are flat. Drilling activity is slowing, not surging. And the decline in oil prices has more to do with softening demand and surplus supply than any domestic production boom. West Texas Intermediate crude has hovered around $60 per barrel in recent weeks, a price point that many operators see as unsustainable for continued growth. Diamondback Energy, a respected player in the Permian Basin, is already acting. CEO Travis Stice recently warned that the shale industry is reaching a tipping point, where the geologic headwinds now outweigh the technological tailwinds that once drove the boom. Diamondback is slashing its capital budget by $400 million and pulling back rigs. 'We are taking our foot off the accelerator as we approach a red light,' Stice wrote in a letter to shareholders. Other producers may soon be forced to do the same. This underscores a growing tension in U.S. energy policy–Washington wants cheap fuel for voters but also robust production to support economic and national security goals. Those priorities are increasingly at odds. Oil producers can't operate at a loss forever just to keep gas prices down, and they can't plan the long-term investment needed to boost future production in an environment where trade policy is unpredictable and inflation remains sticky. Not all producers share Diamondback's cautious outlook. Chevron expects drilling in the Permian to rebound in the second quarter, and ExxonMobil is pushing to lower its breakeven price to $30 per barrel by 2030 through efficiency gains and scale. ConocoPhillips has so far held its activity steady, but its leadership signaled this week that they're watching the $50-per-barrel mark closely. Below that threshold, further cutbacks are likely. According to analysts at Wood Mackenzie, U.S. oil production will likely remain flat in 2025 and begin to decline in 2026 unless prices recover. Their latest forecast projects a slight dip of about 40,000 barrels per day in 2026, after previously expecting growth of more than 250,000 barrels per day. If prices fall below $50, the outlook darkens further. We should be paying close attention. The U.S. oil and gas sector supports millions of jobs, drives investment in rural communities, and anchors our energy security. Tariff-driven price volatility and cost inflation risk undercutting those gains. Steel tariffs alone have already driven casing costs up more than 10%, reducing margins and weakening the case for new drilling. This isn't just an oil industry problem. When U.S. energy output declines, prices become more volatile. We cede influence to OPEC and petro-states like Russia and Iran. And we undercut one of America's greatest strengths–and President Trump's greatest successes–the rise of the U.S. as the world's top oil and gas producer. America's energy dominance was built through innovation, investment, and smart policy. If we want to maintain that leadership, the industry needs stability.

AU recruit Austin Paskewic pitches Streamwood past Larkin. But his bat comes alive too. ‘Done that for four years.'
Austin Paskewic has been an impactful player for four seasons, blossoming into Streamwood's leader as his career has unfolded. Sometimes, in a tight game, teams need their star to be the star. Sabres coach Dan Jennings never worries in those situations, however. 'He's done that for four years,' Jennings said of Paskewic. 'He's a really good player. He's going to Aurora (University) for a reason, and he's going to be really good for them.' Paskewic had his hands on the pulse of everything Tuesday afternoon for Streamwood in a comeback 5-3 Upstate Eight Conference win in eight innings at Larkin in Elgin. He went 7 2/3 innings before reaching his pitch count and also had two hits to keep the Sabres (11-11, 7-5) in the game. He drove in a run to cut the lead to one and later scored the tying run. Given a second chance, Streamwood rallied and earned the win for Paskewic, who struck out 12 while allowing three runs — only one earned — on six hits and a pair of walks. Conner Flynn, Casey Nosek, Paskewic and Josh Zamora all had RBIs for Streamwood. Paskewic was recruited by AU to play third base and catch, but it was his pitching Tuesday that sparked the Sabres. After a sluggish start, he settled in, notching 10 strikeouts in a five-inning stretch. 'I was missing with the off-speed and had to rely on the fastball,' Paskewic said. 'They were just catching the fastball early. Once I started getting the breaking ball in the zone, it didn't feel like they had a chance.' Antonio Ventura also pitched well for Larkin (2-20, 1-9). He struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings, allowing two earned runs on four hits and three walks. He added two hits, including a double. Paskewic seemed to get stronger as the day went on, something that Larkin coach Niko Morado noticed as well. 'He pounded the zone, especially late in the game,' Morado said. 'When pitchers usually start getting tired and start throwing more balls, he stayed locked in, so credit to him.' While his pitching kept Streamwood alive, Paskewic got the game to extra innings with his bat. Jennings pointed out that Paskewic has been scuffling at the plate lately, so his RBI double to score Adan Rojas, cutting the lead to one, was a welcomed sight. 'It did feel nice,' Paskewic said. 'I think I kind of got in my head a little bit. I feel like I was getting under the ball a little too much and maybe I was trying to do too much. 'I feel like I settled in. I was more behind the baseball, staying through it. It felt way different.' In college, Jennings knows that Paskewic's bat will dictate his playing time. After watching Paskewic perform for four varsity seasons, Jennings also knows it's in there. He hopes Tuesday's hit unlocks something for the rest of the season. 'He's hit a bit of a skid this year in terms of swinging it, but he saw it well today,' Jennings said. 'I think that confidence is going to run into West Chicago tomorrow.' Paskewic has followed Nick Weaver behind the plate for the Sabres. Weaver, an Elgin Community College standout, was named the Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference's player of the year on Tuesday. He's committed to Eastern Michigan. Paskewic credited Weaver's influence in helping guide him on his path to college baseball. 'Not only my defensive capabilities back there but being a field general,' Paskewic said. 'That's progressed a lot. I can be a force to help the defense play better, get outs when we need them.'
