A man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend’s nine-year-old child multiple times, leaving the girl in critical condition, in Beach Park.

Lake County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Ari Briskman said deputies arrived to find a nine-year-old child who was suffering from multiple stab wounds.

The Beach Park Fire Department responded and paramedics transported the child by ambulance to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

Briskman said the girl’s injuries were described as critical and life-threatening.

Detectives learned the nine-year-old child’s mother is in a dating relationship with Demetrius Fisher, 30, of Beach Park.

Fisher lives in the Manor Avenue home with her and the child.

The child’s school called the mother Thursday morning to inquire why her child was not in attendance, Briskman said.

The mother returned to the Manor Avenue home to investigate and discovered Fisher exiting the home.

Briskman said Fisher ran away after seeing the woman, who then entered the home and discovered her critically injured child inside.


Deputies learned Fisher boarded a bus and was likely going to a nearby train station, Briskman said.
