Stephanie Serrano was stabbed to death at a Monday night party in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood.
Serrano, 18, was at a party in an apartment building in the 2900 block of West 63rd Street when she got into an argument with a man about 10:15 p.m. Monday, authorities said.
After the argument, the 37-year-old man allegedly grabbed a knife and started chasing people in the apartment, police said. He eventually stabbed Serrano multiple times — including in her eye and armpit, authorities said.
Serrano, of the 8300 block of South Komensky Avenue, died at Mount Sinai Hospital at 11:12 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office said.
The man initially fled, but later walked in to the Chicago Lawn District police station and claimed he was beaten, police said. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital and treated for a cut to the head.
Police learned the man is the person suspected of stabbing Serrano and took him in for questioning at Area Central headquarters, police said.
