A Chicago man convicted of fatally stabbing a man 20 years ago is charged with murder in the Tuesday stabbing in Little Village of a 61-year-old woman who was his partner for 30 years.
David Wilcox, 59, was arrested minutes after the attack of his longtime partner and charged with first-degree murder, Chicago police said.
Officers found Wilcox and the woman when they responded to a report of a person stabbed around 11:35 p.m. in the 2500 block of South Christiana Avenue., police said.
The woman, who hasn’t yet been identified, suffered multiple puncture wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
At least one steak knife was recovered at the scene, according to a police report, which also stated that Wilcox allegedly attacked the woman before stabbing himself.
It’s not the first time Wilcox has been accused of murder.
Court records show Wilcox was accused in 1986 of a fatally stabbing someone. Wilcox was convicted of murder in 1987 but he appealed the 20-year sentence and the charge was changed to voluntary manslaughter, court records show. In 1992, he was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to 12 years, court records show.
Wilcox told ABC-7 news in 2016 that he fatally stabbed a man who attacked him and his pregnant girlfriend.
In 2016, a day after the presidential election, Wilcox made news when he was dragged from his car on the city’s West Side as attackers allegedly yelled: ‘You voted Trump?’
Court details on the recent murder charge weren’t immediately available.
