A 16-year-old male has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery after a stabbing incident that left an 18-year-old male critically injured, according to a Chicago Police Department news release. The juvenile was apprehended by U.S. Marshals on Tuesday near the 1100 block of S. Hamilton Ave and is now facing one felony count of attempt to commit murder in the first degree and one felony count of aggravated battery with the use of a deadly weapon.
The arrest comes after an investigation stemming from a November 14, 2024, incident where the 18-year-old victim was stabbed in the 0-100 block of N. Western Ave, a matter that had remained unresolved until recently, with the juvenile suspect now identified and charged, his involvement in the crime was corroborated through undisclosed means by the authorities and he was subsequently taken into custody without additional information provided to the public as the case is likely still unraveling and due process unfolds.
The charged juvenile offender currently remains in custody, with no further details provided about court dates or possible bail considerations.
