After stabbing 32-year-old Robert Webster Sunday morning, Anthony Moody ran to a nearby gas station, asked a clerk to call police and told a tow truck driver that Webster had tried to punch him, Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney James Murphy said Tuesday.
Chicago police recovered the knife allegedly used to kill Webster from a garbage can at the gas station where 55-year-old Moody was taken into custody.
The day before the stabbing, police officers were called to Moody’s home where he lives with his daughter-in-law and her children, including some of Moody’s grandchildren, Murphy said.
