A man who was being questioned for the fatal stabbing of an employee at a downtown Chase bank Wednesday has been charged with first degree murder, police announced Friday.
Jawaun Westbrook, 35, was charged with the death of Jessica Vilaythong, 24, and expected to appear in Central Bond Court Saturday, according to a news release from Chicago police.

Police said the 24-year-old bank teller was stabbed in the left side of her neck after having a "brief conversation" with a man while inside the bank around 11:12 a.m. Wednesday in the 600 block of North Dearborn.

The stabbing, police said, was captured on high-quality video, allowing detectives to see the specific details of the shirt the suspect was wearing, said Brendan Deenihan, chief of detectives with the Chicago Police Department.
