Bolingbrook Stabbing Death: Man Accused In Stepson's Murder

BOLINGBROOK, IL — A 23-year-old man succumbed to his injuries hours after being stabbed in what Bolingbrook police called a "verbal domestic situation" that escalated into a physical confrontation on Sunday. Bolingbrook Police Lt. Anthony Columbus said officers and paramedics responded to a report of a person stabbed at 1:37 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of Jordan Way to find 23-year-old Corey L. Spradley with life-threatening injuries. Another man, 51-year-old Harold L. Robinson, was taken into custody without incident, initially charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery, aggravated battery with great bodily harm and unlawful use of a weapon by a felon.

Police said Spradley was transported to an area hospital. The DuPage County Coroner's office told detectives later Sunday evening that Spradley had died of his injuries, Columbus said.

Robinson is Spradley's stepfather, according to WJOL.

Bolingbrook police said the charges against Robinson were under review on Monday, and a murder charge was added, according to Will County jail records. His bond was set at $2 million.

Robinson was previously found not guilty of aggravated battery in a 2012 case, according to Will County court records.
