芝加哥——警方称，一名7岁女童在芝加哥一个社区的商铺前行走时被刺身亡，附近的人控制了袭击她的女子。
CHICAGO — A 7-year-old girl was fatally stabbed while walking in front of businesses in a Chicago neighborhood, and people nearby detained the woman who attacked her, police said.
芝加哥警方称，该女童于周六上午晚些时候在查塔姆社区行走时，一名手持不明锐器的女子走近她，并在她背部多次刺伤。
Chicago police said the girl was walking in the Chatham neighborhood late Saturday morning when a woman carrying an unspecified sharp object approached her and stabbed her multiple times in the back. Television networks showed a commercial strip lined with a restaurant, nail salon and market cordoned off by red police tape afterward.
电视台画面显示，事发后，一条排列着餐馆、美甲店和市场的商业街被红色警戒线封锁。库克县验尸官办公室确认死者为埃迪·马里·埃尔南德斯·查孔。她在医院不治身亡。
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the child as Edi Mari Hernandez Chacon. She died at a hospital.
WLS-TV报道称，附近一家商铺的监控照片显示，目击者认出的女童当时正与一名年长女性手牵手在人行道上行走。警方未透露关于该人的任何信息。
A security photo from a nearby business showed the girl that witnesses identified had been walking hand-in-hand with an older female on the sidewalk, WLS-TV reported. Police did not share any information about that person.
据芝加哥警方声明，嫌疑袭击者因非致命伤被送往医院，随后被捕。目前尚不清楚袭击者与女童之间是否存在关系。
The alleged attacker was taken to the hospital with injuries that weren’t life-threatening and was arrested, Chicago police said in a statement.
警方未对刺杀动机发表评论，并于周日拒绝提供更多细节或透露嫌疑人身份。
It was not immediately clear if there was any relationship between the attacker and the girl. Police have not commented on a possible motive for the stabbing and declined Sunday to provide further details or identify the suspect.
