A man was stabbed to death early Tuesday in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side.

Willie E. Anderson, 25, was found lying on the floor of an apartment unit by someone who lived in the apartment complex at 3:41 a.m. in the 4200 block of West Haddon, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Anderson, who lived in the same block, had a stab wound to the chest and was unresponsive, authorities said. He was taken in an ambulance to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 4:38 a.m.

An autopsy Wednesday ruled his death a homicide, the medical examiner’s office said.

Area North detectives were investigating.
