You have to be real careful who you are inviting to Thanksgiving dinner.
Now, your boyfriend is dead trying to protect your leftovers.
A post-Thanksgiving dinner brawl turned deadly in Chicago when the host’s boyfriend was killed — for confronting a guest who’d dug into leftovers with his bare hands, prosecutors said.
James Dixon, 29, is facing a first-degree murder charge in the deadly stabbing of Vincell Jackson, 52, who prosecutors said escorted Dixon to the door of a Marquette Park residence at about 3:15 a.m. Friday over the uncouth act, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Dixon, who had allegedly downed several alcoholic beverages prior to the deadly confrontation, punched Jackson, who was dating the host, before the fight moved to the front porch, prosecutors told a judge Sunday.
Dixon then stabbed Jackson nine times, leaving him with wounds to his head and face, and fled as the older man held onto a banister, Assistant State’s Attorney Susie Bucaro told Judge Susana Ortiz.
He is looking at 20-60 years in jail.
