An illegal immigrant who just illegally crossed the border into the United States about two weeks ago is accused of brutally stabbing his wife to death and nearly decapitating her, in front of their two children.
On April 1, 2024, at approximately 11:30 a.m., Baltazar Pérez-Estrada entered the Carol Stream Police Department in Illinois and informed authorities that he had stabbed his wife, 26-year-old Maricela Simón Franco.
Officers said they detained Perez-Estrada and immediately opened an investigation. During the course of their investigation, authorities discovered that Pérez-Estrada had illegally crossed into the United States from Mexico. He was charged with alien inadmissibility, given a future court date and allowed to continue on his way to the US.
Prosecutors allege that Perez-Estrada and his wife got into a verbal fight around 10 p.m. at the apartment where they were staying.

Prosecutors said the fight became physical and Perez-Estrada stabbed Franco dozens of times in the head, neck, body and hands. Prosecutors said the attack was so violent that Franco was nearly decapitated. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
The couple has two young children, who police say were present at the time of the alleged murder.

“First and foremost, I offer my deepest condolences to Maricela’s surviving family and friends for their loss and wish them strength as they continue their lives without the love and support provided by Maricela,” said DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert Berlin, in a statement.
“This brutal and senseless act has not only removed Maricela from their lives, but has also stripped two young children of their mother. As domestic violence continues to victimize so many people, DuPage County authorities are ready to partner with social service programs available to provide a sustainable solution to those in need,” Carol Stream Police Chief Don Cummings said in a statement.

Berlin also echoed Cummings and said prosecutors are working to bring justice to Franco.
“The extremely violent end of a young mother’s life is something that should affect us all. Domestic violence continues to be a scourge on society, claiming more than ten million victims a year in some form. In this case, the sad The reality is, Maricela’s life has been reduced to a domestic violence statistic due to the alleged actions of her husband, Baltazar Pérez Estrada. This brutal and senseless act of violence alleged against Mr. Pérez Estrada will not be tolerated and he will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Berlin said.
On Thursday, the court granted the state’s motion to detain Perez Estrada before trial. He has been charged with five counts of first-degree murder and is due back in court on April 25.
