Woman in custody after fatal stabbing at Englewood grocery store

A woman is in custody after a man was stabbed to death Friday at a grocery store in Englewood on the South Side.

The woman allegedly stabbed Michael McGown, 36, in the neck about 8:45 p.m. at the Englewood Market, 6057 S. Racine Ave., according to Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.

McGown was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center, where he died, authorities said. The woman, 41, was taken into custody.

“They know each other, they hung out with each other,” said a manager at the Englewood Market, who declined to give his name. “I can’t understand it.”

An autopsy Saturday ruled McGown died of multiple stab wounds in a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

Charges were pending against the woman Saturday. Police said the attack stemmed from a domestic dispute.

Area South detectives are investigating.
