A Joliet teen has been charged with first-degree murder of another person who was stabbed on May 3.
A Will County grand jury returned an indictment on Thursday against Jae’vion Smith, 17, on a charge of the first-degree murder of Javion Bailey.
The charges alleged Smith stabbed Bailey with a knife while knowing such an act “created a strong probability of death or great bodily harm.”
A petition to deny the pretrial release of Smith under the SAFE-T Act has been filed. The petition was sealed from the public.
Shaw Local has contacted the Joliet Police Department for further information.
