Lake County coroners officials said a 19-year-old Libertyville man who was stabbed while trying to stop a fight in Ingleside on Sunday afternoon has died from his wounds.
John Herres, 19, of Libertyville, was pronounced dead at 11 p.m. Sunday at Advocate Condell Medical Center, where he was airlifted following the stabbing.
An autopsy is scheduled for 1 p.m. today, but preliminary cause of death is a single stab wound to the abdomen, Keller said.
Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. John Crilly said officers responded to a call shortly before 1:30 p.m. Sunday on the 2600 block of West Route 134 in Ingleside.
Arriving on the scene, officers learned Herres had been stabbed in the abdomen by a 43-year-old male resident of the home when the victim tried to get in the middle of a fight between the man and a female resident of the home.
Police said Herres was not a resident of the home.
Herres underwent surgery Sunday afternoon, Keller said, but died following the procedure.
The 43-year-old man was placed in custody. He has not been charged with any crime.
The incident remains under investigation.
