A woman, Lauren Pikor, 30, was found stabbed to death outside an Oak Forest home Friday night in what police are calling a domestic homicide.A lengthy standoff in a Tinley Park neighborhood is over on Saturday after a man was taken into custody in connection with the stabbing death of 30-year-old Lauren Pikor near her Oak Forest home the night before.
The situation began when suburban police attempted to execute a search warrant overnight at a home near Glen Swilly Circle just off of 182nd Street in relation to the woman's Friday evening slaying. "I heard somebody screaming, and I thought it was the neighbor kids, but it just didn't sound right," one neighbor said. "So, I went to my sliding glass door, looking onto the street, and I saw someone on the ground."
Sources close to the investigation said the man who held police at bay is the estranged boyfriend of Pikor, who had a restraining order against him."I thought they were trying to get him out, and they were shouting through loud speaker, 'Come out, come out,'" a neighbor said.Salma Hussein lives just three down from where the man was holed up. The college student recorded that part of the police operation on her cellphone.
