A Chicago woman who’d been mortally wounded on a CTA platform identified her attacker as a former boyfriend to witnesses before she died, according to Cook County prosecutors.
Alejandro Arellano, 31, has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of the 26-year-old woman, whom he allegedly stabbed at least four times with a folding pocket knife. He was ordered held without bail during a hearing Monday.
The pair met up late Friday at Miller’s Pub, but after arguing the woman left the bar by herself around 1:20 a.m. Arellano allegedly followed her to the CTA station. He found the woman as a southbound train arrived at the station and she tried to board, but Arellano allegedly grabbed her and pulled her back. The train departed and the woman continued trying to get away from Arellano, but when she turned her back to him, he grabbed her by the neck and stabbed her multiple times in the chest, arm and abdomen, McCord Rodgers said.
