  • Chicago police charged Tatiana Maxwell, 25, with first-degree murder after a 1-month-old girl was fatally stabbed Friday morning in Gage Park.
  • The infant was identified as Nyhnia Stovall, and detectives said Maxwell knew the baby and that the case appears to be domestic-related.
  • Police said Maxwell was arrested moments after the stabbing, a knife was recovered at the scene, and she was later taken to the University of Chicago Hospital after jumping from an upper-level window.
  • Authorities have not confirmed Maxwell's exact relationship to the baby, leaving a key question in a case that unfolded in the 3000 block of West 59th Street on Chicago's Southwest Side.
