James Dixon,29, was arrested Friday. Prosecutors said in a hearing Sunday that the defendant was at a Thanksgiving party hosted by a woman, according to The Chicago Tribune. In the official story, he started going through the leftover food with his hands, the host became alarmed; the host\u2019s boyfriend got Dixon to the front door, authorities said. Dixon allegedly sucker punched the man. Police say that the dispute spilled onto the front porch, and that\u2019s where it turned physical. Prosecutors said Dixon stabbed victim Vincell Jackson,52, nine times. Wounds were to the victim\u2019s head, face, and left arm, officials said. Prosecutors said that witnesses described Dixon as the aggressor. From police, in a statement obtained by Law&Crime: Witnesses purportedly saw the fight, but none saw the alleged stabbing itself. Prosecutors said that Jackson was seen on top of Dixon asking that 911 be called, but a witness returned to find that Dixon was running away, and Jackson was over a banister, wounded. According to officials, Dixon was arrested hours later. He was found with multiple knives, including one covered in blood, they said. The defense maintains that he had a legitimate self-defense claim. Dixon is charged with first-degree murder, and was ordered to be held on $350,000.
