Quina Jackson killed in what police call ‘domestic’ dispute in Chicago Lawn apartment


Police believe domestic violence may have taken the life of 23-year-old Quina L. Jackson, who was found dead after police responded to a disturbance Friday afternoon in Chicago Lawn.

Authorities launched a homicide investigation after Jackson died following the domestic disturbance at an apartment in the 6300 block of South Fairfield.

Shortly after noon, officers were called to the building and they found Jackson unresponsive on a couch, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

Jackson, who lived on the block where she was found, was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where she was pronounced dead at 1:51 p.m., authorities said.

Police did not say how she died. An autopsy was scheduled for Saturday.

A 34-year-old woman was taken into custody at the scene, police said. No charges have been filed.
