Chicago police have taken into custody a woman suspected of firing the fatal shot during a violent domestic confrontation that claimed a man’s life on Friday evening. The shooting transpired in the Englewood neighborhood’s 400 block of West Marquette Road shortly before 11 p.m.
A 36-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman engaged in a heated dispute inside a residence, according to law enforcement. During the altercation, the man wielded a knife and inflicted a stab wound to the woman’s abdomen before forcing her from the home.
A second woman present at the location intervened by firing a weapon at the man, striking him in the torso. The wounded man was transported to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The stabbing victim, identified as the 22-year-old woman, received emergency medical treatment at the same hospital and remained in stable condition following the incident. Officers recovered the firearm and detained the shooter at the scene.
Charges against the arrested woman are currently pending as the investigation continues. Police have withheld her identity and specific charge information pending further developments.
