A tragic incident has unfolded in Illinois, where a 19-year-old man faces serious charges after a violent encounter led to the death of a pregnant woman. The suspect, reportedly frustrated over the condition of a truck being sold by the victim and her husband on Facebook Marketplace, allegedly stabbed the woman 70 times before setting her home ablaze.

Authorities have charged Nedas Revuckas with several severe offenses, including first-degree murder, armed robbery, aggravated arson, and the intentional homicide of an unborn child. These charges stem from the brutal killing of Eliza Morales, a young mother who was six months pregnant at the time of her death.

In addition to these charges, Revuckas is accused of stabbing the family’s dog during the attack, resulting in an aggravated cruelty to animals charge. Morales, who was eagerly anticipating the birth of her second daughter, tragically lost her life in the violent assault.

According to a news release issued by the Village of Downers Grove, emergency services were called to a reported fire at an apartment complex on the 2300 block of Ogden Avenue around 6:10 p.m. on Monday. Upon arrival, first responders discovered Morales suffering from severe stab wounds.

Despite paramedics’ efforts to save her, Morales succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene. Additionally, another individual was treated onsite before being transported to Good Samaritan Hospital for further medical care.

Court documents obtained by Chicago CBS affiliate WBBM provided additional details about the circumstances that led to the horrific attack on Morales. In a petition seeking to have Revuckas detained until trial, prosecutors said Morales and her husband — reportedly her high school sweetheart — had made arrangements to sell the defendant a truck through Facebook Marketplace. Revuckas was already in possession of the truck and was coming to the couple’s home to pick up the bill of sale and return the vehicle’s license plates.

While Revuckas was at the front door, he and Morales reportedly got into a physical altercation. Surveillance footage allegedly showed Revuckas trying to get into Morales’ apartment as she struggled to keep him out. A short while after getting inside, Revuckas stabbed Morales 70 times, killing her and her unborn child.

After the stabbing, Revuckas allegedly stabbed the couple’s dog between the eyes, then doused the kitchen in chemicals and set it aflame. The dog reportedly ran away from the apartment and is currently in the care of a local veterinarian.

The couple’s 1-year-old daughter was not at home during the attack.

Following his arrest, Revuckas allegedly admitted to the attack, telling detectives he was angry about the condition of the truck and “decided to take out his frustration on Eliza,” local ABC affiliate WLS reported.

Her husband, identified by WLS as Gabriel Morales, said he was at work when he received a call informing him that his wife, who worked in the payroll department at a children’s hospital, and unborn child had died.

“I’m gonna spend the rest of my life missing her,” he told the station, adding that he will “just continue to try to live through her for my daughter and continue to be strong for my family.”
