Mother's Boyfriend Charged With Murder in Brutal Stabbing of 6-Year-Old in Maryland: Police

A man in Maryland was arrested after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend’s 6-year-old son to death, according to authorities.

Around 9:20 p.m. on Jan. 23, officers responded to a home in Baltimore for a report of a possible stabbing, according to the Baltimore Police Department.

Once at the scene, police found Seron O’Neal suffering from numerous stab wounds to back, officials said.

The child was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.

In a statement to WBAL-TV, Baltimore Police Detective Freddie Talbert said, "This was a horrendous incident. Seron's mother was rendering aid. Officers did join in to assist her, at which point, they transported him to an area hospital, where, despite life-saving measures, he was sadly pronounced deceased."

During an investigation, detectives determined 32-year-old Alan Geslicki, the boyfriend of the victim’s mother, allegedly stabbed the child to death.

Using a description of the car Geslicki was driving, officers were able to make a traffic stop.

Geslicki then got out of the vehicle and started running, but officers were able to arrest him after a short foot pursuit, authorities said.
