Yasmine Elder, 24-year-old has been charged with killing her boyfriend after pouring bleach down his throat.
Elder got into a fight with her boyfriend Darrius Ellis, 26, while sitting in a van early Monday morning.
Investigators believe that around 1:45 a.m. Elder wrestled with Ellis and forced him to lie on his back, then poured bleach down his throat.
Police found his body in the street a few hours later. He was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Autopsy results showed that Ellis died of “complications from forcible administration of a caustic substance,” according the Chicago Tribune.
Ellis’ death was found to be a homicide.
“He was a good kid,” Ellis’ grandfather, Clarence Hebron, told the paper. “Everybody loved him.”
Elder is charged with first degree murder. She is scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday.
