A tragic incident occurred at the Navy Pier beer garden on Sunday evening, resulting in a man being stabbed to death during what Chicago police have described as a “domestic altercation.” The victim, a 56-year-old man, was involved in a verbal dispute with a 64-year-old man at the beer garden around 5:30 p.m. The argument escalated into a physical altercation when the older man pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim multiple times, causing fatal injuries.
The victim sustained cuts across his body and was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The assailant, who also suffered a laceration during the incident, was apprehended by police officers at the pier and taken to Northwestern Hospital in serious condition.
