(WBBM NEWSRADIO) —A Gold Coast man faces murder charges after the body of his 81-year-old mother was found in his car in Central Illinois.
Police officers in Dwight responded to a call of a theft from a car Monday morning and met Marc Holliman, 53, who had a “brief discussion” with police and then left, requesting no more assistance, the police department said in a statement.
About an hour later, Holliman approached Dwight officers on the same street, bleeding from self-inflicted wounds, according to the statement.
He was taken to a hospital, but before he was released officers discovered the body of the elderly woman in the car Holliman was driving, the statement said.
The woman was identified as Juanita Holliman, according to the Grundy County coroner’s office. Juanita Holliman was Marc Holliman's mother, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
Police determined the woman died in Chicago, in the 100 block of West Delaware Place on the Gold Coast.
Chicago police said Marc Holliman was arrested in Morris. They have not released any additional information on the incident.
Holliman was expected to appear in bond court Wednesday.
