CHICAGO — A suspect is in custody after a child called 911 to report that her father had stabbed their mother inside their North Side home on Saturday night. The victim did not survive.
At about 11:24 p.m., the 12-year-old told a 911 operator that they found their mother bloody in bed and their father, according to dispatch records.
Officers found the 29-year-old victim inside the home in the 2700 block of West Balmoral. She was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston with stab wounds to her torso. Doctors there pronounced her dead.
In a media statement, CPD said they determined the victim “was in a physical altercation with a 35-year-old male offender who produced a knife and attacked the victim before fleeing the scene.” The police subsequently located the man and took him into custody. CPD did not reveal the man’s relationship with the woman.
