Transit Worker Allegedly Killed by Felon on Electronic Monitoring Despite Repeated Probation Violations

A man accused of fatally stabbing a Chicago Transit Authority worker outside a train station during a daytime confrontation had previous alleged encounters with the law, authorities said.

Chevazz Campbell, 37, is charged in the stabbing death of Julian Mobley, 41, a husband, father and CTA janitor, according to FOX 32 Chicago.

The attack occurred shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday at the Damen Green Line station.

Prosecutors allege that Campbell entered the station without paying, sparking an argument with Mobley. Campbell then allegedly sprayed the CTA worker in the face with mace twice before stabbing him in the neck.

The allegations were detailed by prosecutors, according to FOX 32.

At the time of the alleged attack, Campbell was being monitored electronically and had at least four probation-violation filings related to curfew violations, FOX 32 reported.
