Man charged in slaying and armed robbery of 75-year-old man

A 24-year-old man was charged in connection with last week's fatal stabbing of a 75-year-old man in his South Side home.
Terrance M. Olden of the 7100 block of South Constance Avenue was charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery in the slaying of Donald Ellens, whose body was found about 10:30 p.m. June 26 at his Calumet Heights neighborhood home in the 9000 block of South East End Avenue.
Olden is expected to appear in bond court on Sunday.
Officers responding to a request for a well-being check were met by Ellens' daughter, Cherita, who said she had not talked to him in several days. She had tried to open the door, but it was chained.
The daughter forced her way inside and found her father facedown on his bedroom floor, the report said. There were no signs of forced entry and nothing seemed out of place, according to the report. It appeared someone had tried to wipe the blood off the floor, the report said. A weapon was not found.
