CHICAGO — Eleven-year-old Chicago boy Jayden Perkins was stabbed to death while protecting his pregnant mother. The 33-year-old suffered multiple stab wounds, but she and her unborn child are expected to survive.
The suspected attacker, identified as 37-year-old Crosetti Brand, was released on parole just one day before the attack, which happened in the 5900 block of North Ravenswood Avenue in Edgewater last week.
Jayden’s mother had an order of protection against Brand. Police say the two had a relationship 15 years ago but wouldn’t provide any more details.
When police arrived at the scene of the crime, they found Jayden with an injury to his chest. Investigators said the boy tried to protect his mom before he was killed.
Video evidence showed Brand running from the scene with the knife used in the attack, according to Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti. He was taken into custody hours after the stabbing,
