Four South Side women, all in their 20s, are accused of stabbing a man to death early Sunday after a verbal altercation got out of control, police said. At about 2 a.m., police responded to a call in the 8100 block of South Drexel Avenue of a man being chased by women with knives. Morris Wilson and the women were “drinking together in the apartment of one of the women. There was an argument that escalated. The women beat and stomped on him. As he was attempting to make his way out, he was followed by the offenders who (again) beat him and started to stab him multiple times,” said Chicago Police News Affairs officer Laura Kubiak. Carmelita Hall, 25; Tiffany Cox, 25; Miesha Nelson, 25; and Roslind Ball, 23 –– who all live in the vicinity of the incident –– were each charged with one count of first-degree murder. Morris, 30, lived a few blocks away, and was pronounced dead at the scene, said the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. The women are scheduled to appear in bond court Monday. ______
