A Chicago woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of her boyfriend who police say she forced to drink bleach during a fight.
(FOX)- The Chicago Tribune reports that 24-year-old Yasmine Elder was charged Wednesday in the death of 26-year-old Darrius Ellis.
Police say Elder and Ellis were fighting Monday in a parked van when Elder overpowered the man and forced him to drink bleach.
Ellis was found by police lying on the ground and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Cook County medical examiner’s office spokeswoman Becky Schlikerman says an autopsy Tuesday determined his death was a homicide caused by ingestion of bleach.
