Alleged University of Chicago Stabber Nabbed in Texas

A Wilmette man who police say stabbed his roommate at the University of Chicago was caught this week in Texas.

Ross Jacobs, 27, was booked into the Dallas County Jail on a charge of attempted murder after being caught using an ATM in Dallas, ABC-7-Chicago reports.

It’s not clear what precipitated the attack, which allegedly occurred around 3 a.m. Friday at an apartment near the University of Chicago campus in Hyde Park.

But a neighbor told ABC she was “always on alert” when she would see Jacobs.

“I knew there was something off, it was clear, by his actions were just random. Not of a normal person. He just seemed like he was in his own mind in his own world,” said Delaney Gentle.

The 27-year-old victim survived the attack but was in serious condition.
