Man Charged In Fatal Beating Of S. Suburban Woman

Police: Woman Was Killed In Domestic-Related Incident

CHICAGO (STNG) ― A 45-year-old man has been charged in the fatal beating of a south suburban woman in the Back of the Yards neighborhood Sunday evening.

Kimberly Foucher, 40, was apparently beaten and strangled in what police said was a domestic-related incident Sunday.

Police were notified of a domestic-related homicide at 5120 S. Damen Ave. about 6 p.m., police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor said.

Foucher, of 13940 S. Wentworth Ave. in Riverdale was apparently beaten and strangled at the Damen Avenue address, a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.

She was pronounced dead at Stroger Hospital of Cook County at 6:35 p.m. Sunday, according to the medical examiner's office.

Steven Cullars, who was described as "an acquaintance" of Foucher's, was charged Monday afternoon with first-degree murder, police News Affairs Officer John Mirabelli said.

Cullars, of 11328 S. Prairie Ave., is scheduled to appear in Violence Court (Br. 66) at noon on Tuesday, Cook County State's Attorney's office spokesman Andy Conklin said.
