Man accused of fatally stabbing Maryland grad student
Tony Robinson was arrested Thursday after being identified as the person who stabbed Anat Kimchi, 31, about 4 p.m. last Saturday in the 400 block of Südwacker Drive, Chicago police said.
She was transported to Northwest Memorial Hospital.
Kimchi was a student from Maryland, who had worked on her promotion to prominence and criminal justice.
Chicago’s financial district is just a few blocks from the scene, but the area where Kimchi was killed is isolated and not a place where many pedestrians are found.
The stabbing occurred next to an area where homeless people camp.
Investigators were able to identify Robinson through video surveillance of the attack and with the help of a cooperating witness, police said.
Robinson was charged in one county with first-degree murder, armed robbery with a dangerous weapon, armed robbery in a public place, robbery with great bodily harm and aggravated assault with the use of a deadly weapon.
Robinson was also linked to two other armed robberies in which he attacked a woman by approaching her from behind.
