Woman Wanted In Connection With Fatal Crest Hill Stabbing

CREST HILL, IL — Officials have identified the man who was found dead Friday morning at the Crest Hill Inn on Plainfield Road and are asking the public for information in connection with the death. Police are also looking to locate a 22-year-old Chicago woman in connection with the stabbing, according to police.

Jakkar Green-Hosey, 30 of Joliet, was pronounced dead at 12 p.m. and was the victim of a single stab wound, according to a news release from the Will County Coroner's Office released Monday.

When police were called to the motel around 9 a.m., they discovered Green-Hosey was dead and showed signs of being injured, according to Crest Hill Police Chief Ed Clark.

Davis and Green-Hosey were arrested together a year ago and charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and unlawful possession of a controlled substance in connection with allegations of dealing cocaine.
