BALTIMORE — A Baltimore man was arrested after allegedly stabbing his girlfriend’s six-year-old son to death Tuesday night, police said.
Police said 32-year-old Alan Geslicki is charged with first-degree murder.
Officers responded to the stabbing around 8:20 p.m. at the 2000 block of Deering Avenue in Baltimore’s Morrell Park neighborhood. There, they found the child, Seron O’Neal, stabbed in the back multiple times.
He was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Geslicki was arrested shortly after the murder when police stopped his car and he bailed out, police said. He was caught after a chase that ended on the 100 block of South Carrolton Avenue.
There were a few neighbors outside following the stabbing Tuesday night. They were too upset to talk, but they told WJZ’s Jessica Albert they knew O’Neal, his mother, and Geslicki.
On Wednesday, neighbors still were reeling over what happened. One told WJZ’s Dennis Valera she was very upset.
