Overview
- Chicago police charged Tatiana Maxwell, 25, with first-degree murder Sunday following Friday’s stabbing inside a Gage Park apartment.
- The baby, identified by the Cook County medical examiner as Nyhnia Stovall, was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead.
- Investigators say Maxwell jumped from an upper-level window after the attack, suffered injuries, and was arrested at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
- Police recovered a knife at the scene, and they have not confirmed the suspect’s relationship to the child despite local reports calling her the mother.
- A police report obtained by local outlets quotes the father raising postpartum depression and other concerning behavior, and child-welfare officials have been notified as the case proceeds.
