Three people were injured in two separate stabbing incidents in Aurora over the weekend, the Aurora Police Department said on Tuesday.
On Saturday at around 5:30 p.m., Aurora police responded to a reported stabbing inside a home in the 500 block of Glenview Avenue in Aurora, a Facebook post from the
police department said. Officers found a man with stab wounds, providing emergency aid until he was taken to a local hospital for treatment of serious but non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
The investigation indicated that the incident resulted from an altercation between two acquaintances inside the home, the police department said.
Jose Antonio Perez-Leon, 25, of Aurora, was taken into custody at the scene and charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, according to the department. Kane County court records indicate that Perez-Leon was released pre-trial, and the name of the public defender representing him was not listed. His next court date is set for March 20.
The following day, at around 8 p.m., police were dispatched to a home in the 800 block of Hammond Avenue on the city’s West Side for a reported stabbing, the Facebook post from the police department said. Officers found two adults with stabbing-related injuries and coordinated medical care until both were taken to area hospitals, officials said.
The investigation of the incident indicated that it had resulted from a domestic-related situation, according to the police department.
Dayton Paul Craig, 23, of Aurora, was arrested at the scene and charged with attempted first-degree murder, as well as several counts of aggravated battery and domestic battery in connection with the incident, the department said. As of Tuesday morning, Craig did not have an attorney listed on the 16th Judicial Circuit’s website. Craig was listed as in custody at the Kane County Jail as of Tuesday morning.
