BATAVIA – Batavia Apartments resident Jay Fitzpatrick said she feels safe living at the East Wilson Street apartments – a place she has called home for a year – despite a homicide at the complex in April and a nonfatal stabbing that happened in August.

“Whatever problems they had, they have seemed to fix them,” Fitzpatrick said. “This can happen anywhere you go.”

Latoya Baines, 24, a Batavia Apartments resident, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the April 30 stabbing death of Chicago resident Gerald J. Jackson, 25. Police said the stabbing occurred as a result of a domestic dispute.
