Baltimore man arrested after allegedly stabbing girlfriend’s 6-year-old child to death

BALTIMORE (TCD) -- Police arrested a man this week on suspicion of fatally stabbing his girlfriend’s young child.

On Tuesday, Jan. 23, at around 9:20 p.m., officers with the Baltimore Police Department responded to a report of a possible stabbing at a home in the 2000 block of Deering Avenue. Police found 6-year-old Seron O’Neal at the scene suffering from numerous stab wounds to the back, and he was transported to a local hospital, where he later died.

Baltimore Police Detective Freddie Talbert told WBAL-TV it was a "horrendous incident."

Talbert continued, "Seron’s mother was rendering aid. Officers did join in to assist her, at which point they transported him to an area hospital, where, despite lifesaving measures, he was sadly pronounced deceased."

Investigators determined 32-year-old Alan Geslicki, the boyfriend of the victim’s mother, allegedly stabbed the child to death. Police conducted a vehicle stop on Geslicki and arrested him following a short foot pursuit that ended in the 100 block of South Carrolton Avenue.

Geslicki was booked into the Baltimore Central Booking Intake Facility on a charge of first-degree murder.
