Upon arrival, Officers located the 2-year-old male inside of the residence who had sustained multiple stab wounds. Officers immediately rendered medical aid to the child until the arrival of Joliet Fire Department Paramedics. The 2-year-old victim was transported to Ascension St Joseph Medical Center by the Joliet Fire Department where he was pronounced deceased. Following a preliminary investigation, information was developed that indicated that the 2-year old child had been stabbed with a kitchen knife by his 6-year-old brother while in the family room of the residence. The victim was discovered by his mother, who then called 911. Officers on scene took the 6-year-old male into protective custody and he was transported to the Joliet Police Department, where he was accompanied by family. Detectives continue to work with the victim’s family, who have fully cooperated with this investigation. The Department of Children and Family Services was notified and responded. Custody of the 6-year-old child was transferred to DCFS, who then coordinated with the Will County Health Department Screening Assessment Support Services (SASS) to have the child transported by ambulance to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation. This case remains in the early stages of an active investigation and further details will be provided once they become available.Urbina believes his 6-year-old grandson was heavily medicated but believes more testing could have been done to better identify his issues.The boys had what Allen referred to as a normal relationship between brothers as they like to roughhouse.Allen explained the tragedy already endured by his daughter and the 2-year-old as she lost his twin before birth.
