CHICAGO — A 56-year-old man will be in court on Wednesday afternoon to face charges of stabbing two victims on a busy River North street late last year. A U.S. Marshals task force arrested Billy Middleton on Monday.
Prosecutors will provide greater detail about the allegations during Middleton’s detention hearing. However, shortly after the attack, Chicago police said it all began when the assailant emerged from a white sedan and engaged the two victims in an argument in the 400 block of North State around 10:15 p.m. on November 22.
The assailant pulled out a knife during the argument and stabbed both men, ages 41 and 43, multiple times. After the stabbings, the offender returned to the white car and headed south on State Street.
Middleton is charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
