Jermaine R. James was stabbed during an argument late Sunday in the Chatham neighborhood on the South Side and died minutes later on Monday morning.
The 35-year-old James was arguing with another male about 11:45 p.m. in the alley in the 400 block of East 79th Street, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The suspect then pulled out a knife and stabbed James multiple times in the body, authorities said.
James, who lived on the same block, was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:08 a.m. Monday, according to the medical examiner’s office.
The suspect ran away after the attack, police said. No one was in custody as Area South detectives investigate.
