Chicago Bears fan is killed in Jacksonville

CHICAGO (MCT) — A Chicago Bears fan who traveled from Lake County, Ill., to see the team play in Jacksonville, Fla., died at the hands of an “enraged” husband who saw his wife talking to the other man at a restaurant the night before the game, police said.

As the men sat on a bench near the entrance of an Irish-themed restaurant and bar, eyewitnesses saw Matthew Hinson, 27, stand up, draw a “little pocket knife” and slice the throat of 42-year-old William Christopher Pettry of Lake Villa, Ill., said Lt. Rob Schoonover of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
