An 18-year-old Chicago woman was ordered held today on $500,000 bail on charges she fatally stabbed her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend earlier this month.
Keananna Streeter, of the 2900 block of West Wilcox Street, is charged with first-degree murder in the Sept. 1 stabbing.
Streeter is accused of attacking Ragan McDougle, 32, the day after the victim arrived to pick up Streeter's ex-boyfriend on the 2800 block of West Roosevelt Road.
"The defendant sprayed her ex with mace and threw a bottle at the waiting car," said Assistant Cook County States Attorney William Hall. "The victim got out of the car ... The defendant began fighting with the victim, stabbing her multiple times with a knife."
McDougle, of the 5000 block of South Dorchester Avenue, was stabbed at least three times in her left side, neck and right temple. She was pronounced dead shortly later at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Streeter fled, but surrendered to Chicago police on Friday, Hall said. He said witnesses identified her as McDougle's attacker.
The defendant does not have a prior criminal history and lives with her father, according to her lawyer.
