Charges are pending for a 32-year-old man who allegedly fatally stabbed a 61-year-old man in a hallway of a Back of the Yards apartment complex Monday night.
Police responded to reports of a disturbance in the 1700 block of West 45th Street at about 10:38 p.m. and found a 61-year-old man who had been stabbed in the chest, according to police. The unidentified victim was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center where he later died.
Witnesses told police there had been a fight between the 61-year-old and a 32-year-old man in the hallway of the apartment complex, during which the younger man pulled out a sharp object and “made contact” with the victim before fleeing, police said.
Charges are pending for the 32-year-old, who was later located and arrested when police searched the area, and he was taken to Holy Cross Hospital “for evaluation,” according to police.
