A woman who died Sunday is believed to have been stabbed to death by her estranged husband while she visited a patient inside an Illinois hospital.

Javier Bahena, 43, has been taken into custody after Wisconsin-native Francisca Quintero, 42, was stabbed while visiting a family member at Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village, according to the Chicago Tribune. Quintero was pronounced dead at 1:10 p.m. on Sunday.

Quintero and the man were both visiting a relative at Alexian Brothers around 11:30 a.m. when Bahena allegedly stabbed Quintero in an attack police are labeling a “domestic violence-type incident,”reports the Chicago Tribune.

The hospital was never placed on lockdown and no one else was hurt.
