A person was in police custody Wednesday afternoon after 42-year-old Terrell Peterson was found dead following a fight inside an apartment Wednesday morning in the West Side Austin neighborhood.
Officers responding to a report of a battery in progress at an apartment in the 800 block of North Central at 6:30 a.m. found Peterson unresponsive, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Peterson, who lived on the block where he was found, was dead at the scene, authorities said.
A police source said Peterson had gotten into a fight with his fiancee’s son. The son, whose age was not disclosed, was taken into custody at a downtown bus station Wednesday morning.
Police are investigating the death as a homicide.
