Horrific Video Shows The Moment An 18 Year Old Girl Stabs To Death A 16 Year Old In Chicago

An 18-year-old woman has been taken into Chicago police custody in connection with the stabbing death of a 16-year-old girl in the Loop after officials were contacted by a pastor of a West Side church who told them the suspect wanted to turn herself in, according to a police report.

The woman remained in custody as of Thursday afternoon. Earlier, Chicago police announced charges in the case but have since said that was done in error.

A spokeswoman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office said police had not submitted a case to the office for charging consideration as of Thursday afternoon.

Just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, police met with the pastor and the woman outside a West Side church, and she was placed into custody without incident, police said.

Officers responding to a disturbance at a Loop Taco Bell about 11:20 p.m. Tuesday were flagged down by someone who described a stabbing nearby in the first block of West Van Buren Street. There, they found Heaven Taylor lying in the street, suffering from stab wounds to her chest. Officers applied a chest seal bandage.

Several witnesses were still on the scene where a large group had been fighting. At least one person identified the suspect by name and told police Taylor had been in an argument with her when the suspect took out a knife and stabbed Taylor twice in the chest before fleeing.
