An 11-year-old boy was stabbed to death in Chicago while trying to protect his 33-weeks pregnant mother from her 'abusive ex-boyfriend'.
Suspect Crosetti Brand, 37, was charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder in connection with the fatal stabbing on Wednesday that took the life of Jayden Perkins and left his mother, Laterria Smith, in critical condition.
Brand was Smith's ex-boyfriend and on parole after being sentenced to 16 years in prison for a home invasion.
Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said that Brand had been released on parole just one day before the attack.
Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx said the boy died from a stab wound to the chest while trying to protect his mother on Wednesday morning.
Chief of Detectives Antoinette Ursitti said in a press conference that Brand was 'paroled and placed on electronic monitoring last October'.
'While he was on parole, he threatened the female victim via text and also showed up at her home.
'He was sent back to prison in February for this parole violation.'
Smith had an order of protection against the suspect 20 years prior to Wednesday's attack for repeatedly threatening and attacking her and her mother, per a motion filed by prosecutors in an unrelated case.
His abuse allegedly began in September 2006 after Smith broke up with the suspect. Brand came to her house and threatened her with a gun, firing it in the hallway before leaving.
Brand continued to harass the family, throwing rocks at their window and calling them obsessively. Two years after the breakup, he reportedly punched the mother at a bus stop for dating someone else.
A neighbor, who asked to remain anonymous, said Smith also had a five-year-old son, Perkins' brother, and lived in the complex with her fiancé.

Click. Yup.
The protection order is proof that everyone knew that he was violent. Democrats love giving parole to violent criminals.
An adult who stabs an 11 y/o is just beyond the pale. Hard to imagine somebody doing that.
And these are the people the government protects. We live in upside down world now.
It would have been the only decent thing to do if the Parole Board would have given him a haircut with a lawnmower before releasing him.
I don’t get it.
I know women who were abused by their husband or boyfriend and precious few were willing to stay with it.
Any woman who keeps going back for more of the same has some real deep seated issues to deal with.
Agreed.
Who knows how many other cases.
The brave 11 year old was more of a man than that waste of skin.
A child’s worst nightmare is mama’s boyfriend.
We live in a third-world banana repukelick, ruled by corrupt pieces of cr@p like stooge-"judge" Scott McAfee and Fatti Willis...
This is what a collapsed failed society/nation look like.
Our so called enemies are more civilized and people don’t live in fear.
“In any truly civilized country that scumbag would be tried, convicted, sentenced to death, and HANGED by the end of next week.”
Marched out of court to an awaiting garrote chair or post is more cost effective. A single bullet to the cerebral cortex is quicker yet... but there are spray patterns and PPE involved.
I like what Dean Martin said in ROUGH NIGHT IN JERICHO(1967)
“Lock him up. We’ll hang him tomorrow right after the trial.”
...and attempted first-degree murder
It should be TWO counts of attempted, but it IS Chicago.
Knock me over with a feather.
Not much has changed since Elvis recorded “In The Ghetto”.
” took the life of Jayden Perkins and left his mother, Laterria Smith, in critical condition.”
ANIMAL!
SPJNK
policies be damned....you all know that they are purposely letting these animals out.....
