Μία γυναίκα φέρεται να επιτέθηκε πισώπλατα στο παιδί

Τραγικό θάνατο βρήκε ένα επτάχρονο κορίτσι στο Σικάγο, που μαχαιρώθηκε πισώπλατα πολλές φορές, ενώ περπατούσε σε δρόμο της πόλης

Σύμφωνα με το New York Post, το περιστατικό σημειώθηκε χθες, Σάββατο, λίγο πριν από το μεσημέρι, στη λεωφόρο Κότατζ Γκρόουβ, στη συνοικία Τσάτχαμ. Όπως αναφέρει η αστυνομία του Σικάγο, το παιδί περπατούσε στο πεζοδρόμιο όταν το πλησίασε μία ενήλικη γυναίκα. Η γυναίκα έβγαλε το μαχαίρι και, όπως αναφέρεται στην αστυνομική ενημέρωση, κάρφωσε το κορίτσι «πολλές φορές στην πλάτη».

Σε βίντεο που κάνει τον γύρο του Διαδικτύου φαίνεται η στιγμή που η συγκεκριμένη περπατά ατάραχη στο πεζοδρόμιο, λίγα λεπτά μετά την επίθεση, θεωρώντας ότι θα φύγει ανενόχλητη.

Περαστικοί ακινητοποίησαν τη γυναίκα

Αυτόπτες μάρτυρες που είδαν την επίθεση έσπευσαν αμέσως να βοηθήσουν το παιδί και κατάφεραν να ακινητοποιήσουν τη φερόμενη ως δράστιδα μέχρι την άφιξη των αστυνομικών.

Περπατούσα εκείνη την ώρα στον δρόμο και βλέπω τη γυναίκα που μαχαίρωσε το κορίτσι να περνά από δίπλα μου. Ξαφνικά ακούω μια περαστική να φωνάζει «πιάστε τη, αυτή το έκανε, τη μαχαίρωσε», λέει ένας από τους πολίτες που ακινητοποίησαν την ύποπτη για την επίθεση στην 7χρονη.

Στο σημείο κλήθηκαν άμεσα οι υπηρεσίες έκτακτης ανάγκης, ενώ η επτάχρονη μεταφέρθηκε σε νοσοκομείο παίδων.

Παρά τις προσπάθειες των γιατρών, το παιδί υπέκυψε στα τραύματά του λίγο μετά την άφιξή του στο νοσοκομείο.

7-Year-Old Girl Stabbed to Death on Cottage Grove Bystanders Detain 18-Year-Old Female Offender Reported to Be on Drugs or Looking for Drugs on Southside Chicago Saturday Morning
https://t.co/MPWurl8WVM® Crime Report
CHICAGO (Oct 3, 2026) 7-year-old girl was stabbed multiple times and killed Saturday morning while walking along Cottage Grove Avenue, where witnesses detained the adult female offender until police took her into custody, according to Chicago police.
Homicide occurred at approximately 11:55 AM in the 8600 block of S Cottage Grove Ave in the 6th District.
Police said the girl was walking southbound outside when an adult woman approached her, displayed a sharp object and stabbed her multiple times in the back.
The child was transported to Comer Children’s Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Bystanders Detain Female Offender
Bystanders who witnessed the stabbing intervened and detained the woman, according to CPD.
Police said the alleged offender was injured while the bystanders detained her. She was later transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and remains in police custody.
CPD did not identify the woman, announce charges or disclose a possible motive in its 2:30 PM public homicide report.
Area Two detectives are investigating.
Initial Radio Traffic Reported Child Stabbed in Head
The official homicide report clarified information that developed rapidly over police and fire radio immediately after the attack.
Initial radio traffic indicated officers found the child bleeding from a head wound. An officer reported holding a towel against the wound while emergency medical personnel responded.
An officer stressed the urgency of getting the child transported:
“This is a kid. They don’t, they don’t have to wait for an ambulance. They can both jump if they need to.”
The girl was initially reported as 7 years old and in critical condition.
Officers requested additional units because of the large crowd gathering around the scene and worked to clear a route for the ambulance carrying the child.
CPD’s later homicide report established that the girl had been stabbed multiple times in the back and was pronounced dead at Comer Children’s Hospital.
Scene Stretched Along Cottage Grove
Initial Citizen and radio information placed the emergency near E 87th St and S Cottage Grove Ave before the address was updated to 8637 S Cottage Grove Ave.
Police also identified 8605 S Cottage Grove Ave as another location connected to the investigation.
The official CPD homicide report lists the location more broadly as the 8600 block of S Cottage Grove Ave.
An independent reporter working the scene separately placed the attack at 86th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue. During his livestream, he described the location as approximately 8637 or 8640 S Cottage Grove.
The reporter repeatedly referenced a nearby business, but the name is unclear in the recording and was transcribed several different ways, including “Sony’s Caring Hands,” “Sonya hair care” and “Karen Hands.” He nevertheless repeatedly placed the scene in the same immediate section of Cottage Grove. s
Witnesses Gave Conflicting Accounts Before CPD Statement
People at the scene gave several different versions of what had happened before CPD released its official homicide account.
The on-scene reporter acknowledged the confusion himself, saying there were “like four different stories going on.”
One account circulating among people at the scene alleged that the female involved was the 7-year-old’s mother and that she had stabbed the child.
The reporter relayed that allegation but repeatedly qualified it, saying the child had been stabbed in the head “allegedly, apparently by the mother.” He also relayed a claim that the woman may have been experiencing mental-health problems.
Later in the livestream, the reporter again said people at the scene were identifying the woman as the child’s mother while continuing to describe the information as alleged.
CPD’s official homicide report does not identify the offender as the girl’s mother and does not mention mental illness.
Drugs Mentioned in Street Accounts
Drug use was also mentioned by people speaking near the scene.
One person was heard saying, “They said she was on drugs,” while another portion of the conversation referred to “a lady wanting drugs.”
A person at the scene also described someone allegedly involved as a local drug user, using the term “crackhead.”
Those remain unverified street accounts. CPD has not publicly reported that drugs or intoxication played a role in the homicide, and the information available does not independently establish the identity, drug use or role of the person being described.
Conflicting Account Involved Another Man
Another account circulating at the scene suggested a man became involved in the confrontation.
The reporter said he was hearing that another man may have stabbed both the woman and child during the altercation, but he stressed that these were stories he was hearing from people at the scene rather than established facts.
Later, he relayed another version in which a man allegedly tried to help during the altercation and may have stabbed both of them, adding that the circumstances would have to be figured out.
The official CPD account provides a clearer sequence: an adult female offender approached the 7-year-old and stabbed her, and bystanders who witnessed the attack detained the woman.
CPD said the offender was injured while being detained but did not specify who injured her or how.
Man With Dreadlocks Described Over Police Radio
Preliminary police radio traffic included information concerning a man described as approximately 5-foot-9 to 6 feet tall, with dreadlocks and wearing a black hoodie.
A witness reportedly told officers that the man had struck the injured woman in the head.
That preliminary information could relate to CPD’s subsequent statement that the offender was injured while bystanders detained her, but police have not publicly identified who injured the woman.
There is no indication in CPD’s homicide report that this man stabbed the child.
Knife Located During Investigation
Police radio traffic indicated officers located a knife near the scene while searching the area.
Officers had not established at that point whether it was the sharp object used to kill the child. Preliminary radio traffic reportedly indicated officers saw no visible blood on the knife.
Investigators also reportedly obtained video from a nearby cellphone store showing the juvenile victim collapsing.
Reporter Saw Photos Before Death Was Confirmed
The independent reporter said a woman at the scene showed him photographs of the injured child.
He described apparent wounds to the girl’s head and body and said the photographs were extremely disturbing. He did not witness the stabbing himself.
People at the scene were already telling him the child may have died. The reporter said the photographs made him fear that was the case, but he continued to describe her death as only a possibility because it had not yet been officially confirmed.
CPD subsequently confirmed in its 2:30 PM homicide report that the 7-year-old had been pronounced dead at Comer Children’s Hospital.
Police Investigation Continues
Numerous Chicago Police Department and Chicago Fire Department units responded as officers worked to control the crowd, preserve the crime scene, locate evidence and interview witnesses.
The final sequence released by CPD Saturday afternoon establishes that the 7-year-old was walking southbound when an adult woman approached her with a sharp object and stabbed her multiple times in the back.
Witnesses then detained the woman. She was injured during the detention, hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and taken into police custody.
Police have not publicly released the girl’s identity, the alleged offender’s identity, their relationship, a possible motive or criminal charges against the woman.

Κατά τη διάρκεια της ακινητοποίησής της από τους περαστικούς, η γυναίκα τραυματίστηκε και μεταφέρθηκε επίσης σε νοσοκομείο. Σύμφωνα με τις Αρχές, τα τραύματά της δεν ήταν απειλητικά για τη ζωή της.

Μετά την παροχή ιατρικής φροντίδας τέθηκε υπό αστυνομική κράτηση, ενώ μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχουν ανακοινωθεί τα στοιχεία της.

Άγνωστο το κίνητρο της επίθεσης

Οι Αρχές διερευνούν τις συνθήκες κάτω από τις οποίες σημειώθηκε η επίθεση, ενώ παραμένει αδιευκρίνιστο αν η γυναίκα γνώριζε το επτάχρονο κορίτσι.

Άγνωστο παραμένει επίσης το κίνητρο, ενώ οι κατηγορίες σε βάρος της υπόπτου αναμένεται να ανακοινωθούν μετά την ολοκλήρωση της αρχικής έρευνας.

Η δημοτική σύμβουλος της 8ης Περιφέρειας του Σικάγο, Μισέλ Χάρις, εξέφρασε τη θλίψη της για τον θάνατο του παιδιού.

«Είμαι βαθιά συντετριμμένη από την παράλογη επίθεση με μαχαίρι σε ένα επτάχρονο παιδί στη γειτονιά μας», ανέφερε σε δήλωσή της, εκφράζοντας τη συμπαράστασή της στην οικογένεια και στους φίλους του κοριτσιού.

Παράλληλα, ευχαρίστησε τους πολίτες που παρενέβησαν και ακινητοποίησαν τη γυναίκα, επισημαίνοντας ότι η άμεση αντίδρασή τους ενδέχεται να απέτρεψε νέους τραυματισμούς.

Η αστυνομία του Σικάγο κάλεσε οποιονδήποτε διαθέτει πληροφορίες για την υπόθεση να επικοινωνήσει με τις Αρχές, ενώ την έρευνα έχει αναλάβει η αρμόδια μονάδα ανθρωποκτονιών της περιοχής.
