Michael Montgomery was 17 when he died after being found with multiple stab wounds on the morning of September 14, 2021. The incident took place during a domestic dispute at his home in the Ashburn neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. He was taken to Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn and pronounced dead shortly after arrival; an autopsy ruled the cause of death multiple sharp force injuries and classified the death as a homicide.

Michael, an African American teenager from Chicago, was predeceased by his father, Robert Montgomery, and is survived by his mother, Latisha Wright. The investigation led to the arrest of 26-year-old Chadwick Perkins, who lived on the same block; police say the stabbing happened around 5:10 a.m. and Perkins was held without bond after undergoing a psychological evaluation.

Does anyone have information about Michael, the neighborhood, or the early-morning dispute that could help clarify what happened?
