Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.CHICAGO —&nbsp;Bail was denied for the man suspected in the fatal stabbing of a Walgreens employee in Wicker Park.Sincere Williams, 18, is charged with first-degree murder and other charges could soon follow.Police say Williams walked into the Walgreens on Sunday to rob the store. He grabbed 32-year-old Olga Calderon around the neck and stabbed her multiple times, according to police.Williams did not steal anything from the store, and left evidence behind as he fled, police said.In court on Wednesday, a public defender said Williams suffers from seizures and schizophrenia, and requires medication for mental illness.For prosecutors, the focus was on the extent to which Williams planned the attack, as Assistant State’s Attorney James Murphy said the attack was premeditated in court on Wednesday.“He had a complete extra set of clothes, including an extra hoodie, and an extra pair of pants. He clearly planned this out,” Murphy said.As for the motive, it’s left as an open question to prosecutors, who did not acknowledge the mental health concerns mentioned by Williams’ defense.“I can’t say for sure, other than the fact that sometimes people do evil things,” Murphy said.“As for if he’s a danger to the community? You bet he is.”He is also suspected in two other robberies four days before Calderon’s death. One of them was at the same location.Those incidents are under investigation.Calderon is a mother and has a 3-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl. A growing memorial for her lies just outside the Walgreens store.Walgreens issued the following statement.“We are very saddened to learn of this tragic incident, and extend our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers to the family and loved ones of our team member.&nbsp;&nbsp;The safety of our customers and team members is our top priority, and we’re continuing to work with local authorities in their investigation.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are also making counseling and other resources available to our other store team members at this location.”&nbsp;&nbsp;created by Calderon’s family has raised nearly $50,000.Suggest a CorrectionThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
