Authorities have charged a 32-year-old Chicago resident with fatally stabbing a man who reportedly intervened to protect a woman during a dispute Wednesday evening in the South Side's Rosemoor neighborhood.
Demetrius Jackson, of the 10300 block of South Forest Avenue, turned himself in to police Friday and was charged with first-degree murder in the killing of William Terry, 55. He was ordered held with no bond in court today.
According to Jackson's public defender, Jackson worked in a Safe Passage program with Rev. Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Catholic Church. No other details on that work relationship were immediately available.
According to court documents, Pfleger had notified police of Jackson's whereabouts before Jackson turned himself in after a brief "negotiation." Pfleger said this afternoon that after hearing from Jackson, he contacted police and helped arrange for Jackson to turn himself in at the Gresham Police District.
Terry died after being stabbed multiple times Wednesday evening on the block of South Forest where Jackson lives.
Police said Terry was attacked after opening the door of a home for a woman who was fleeing a man during a dispute.
Jackson is scheduled to appear in bond court today.
