Fatal Stabbing Suspect Found At Union Station

WAUKEGAN, IL - A man wanted in the fatal stabbing of a 55-year-old woman on Monday was found at Union Station in Chicago, police said. Ivan Rodriguez, 52, faces a charge of first degree murder in the death reported around noon at an apartment in the 800 block of Grand Avenue in Waukegan.

Waukegan police responded to the apartment around noon on Monday after being called there for a well-being check. There they found the woman deceased and said it appeared that she had been stabbed.

Rodriguez, who police said resides at the apartment, was identified as a person of interest in the death immediately but was not found to be in the area. The victim did not live at the apartment where she was found, but police consider the case to be domestic-related.

After sharing Rodriguez' information with other law enforcement agencies, Waukegan police say he was found by a Metra police officer at Chicago's Union Station around 10 p.m. He was then turned over to authorities in Waukegan.

An autopsy held Tuesday indicates the victim died as a result of sharp force trauma. She had not been identified as of Tuesday afternoon pending the notification of the next of kin.

Rodriguez remains in custody at the Lake County jail after bail was set at $2 million in court Tuesday.
