Mother Charged With Death of Infant Son

A 21-year-old woman has been charged with the murder of her son after he was found stabbed in a Lincoln Square motel Thursday morning. 

Police charged Kimberlynn Bolanos, of the 2700 block of West Balmoral Avenue, with first degree murder of her 5-month-old son, Isaac. 

Bolanos remains at Advocate Illinois Hospital where she was taken Thursday in serious condition. Police believe she attempted to take her own life after stabbing her son. 

Police arrived at the Diplomat Hotel, 5230 N. Lincoln Ave., about 10:30 a.m. Thursday and found the two with stab wounds. Isaac was pronounced dead just before 11 a.m. Thursday at Swedish Covenant Hospital, officials from the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said. 

The Diplomat Hotel is the first on a stretch of five motels along Lincoln Avenue that are known for suspicious activity, one neighbor said. 

"These hotels, it's not out-of-towners from Wisconsin that are coming here and wanting to stay, if you know what I mean," said the local resident, who wished to remain anonymous. 

Drugs, prostitution and homeless activity is rampant, he said, even with the Chicago Police Department’s 20th District headquarters in the middle of the motels at 5400 N. Lincoln Ave.
