BERWYN, Ill. (AP) — Police say a suburban Chicago man faces a murder charge after fatally stabbing another man who came to the defense of a woman and her daughter during an altercation inside a grocery store.
Prosecutors also charged 30-year-old Fernando Barrios of Berwyn with attempted murder following the incident Friday at Valle’s Produce in Berwyn.
The altercation began when a 14-year-old girl went to a checkout line to ask her mother, a cashier, the price of a bottle of water. Police say Barrios was standing in the checkout, accused the girl of cutting in, and began punching her in the face. He also allegedly attacked the girl’s mother.
Police say that when Barrios tried to leave, 32-year-old Humberto Guzman went to stop him, but Barrios pulled out a knife and stabbed him.
