Alberto Gaytan has been charged with murder for allegedly stabbing a woman to death during a Thanksgiving Day domestic attack on the Northwest Side.

Gaytan, 42, of the 3000 block of West Ainslie Street, is accused of killing 39-year-old Maria Gonzalez on Nov. 28, authorities said. Police believe the attack is domestic related.

Police found Gonzalez in the street near her home in the 4800 block of North Moody Avenue about 5 a.m., authorities said. She was declared dead on the scene a short time later.

An autopsy determined she died from multiple stab and incised wounds and the death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Gaytan is scheduled to appear in bond court later Thursday.
