A person of interest is in custody after a Wisconsin man was stabbed to death Sunday night at a hotel in southwest suburban Joliet.
Authorities were called about 10 p.m. for a stabbing at the Harrah’s Joliet Hotel and Casino in the 100 block of Joliet Street, Joliet police said in a statement.
Officers found Emmanuel M. Burgrino, 76, in a hallway of the hotel with multiple stab wounds, police said. Someone had apparently attacked him as he was leaving his room.
Burgrino, who lived in Hales Corners, Wisconsin, was pronounced dead at Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, police and the Will County coroner said.
