An Illinois man, quite possibly a Bears fan who traveled to Jacksonville to see the Bears play the Jaguars, was killed early Sunday as a result of a stabbing at a local restaurant within a block of the Bears’ team hotel.

William Pettry, 42, died after being attacked at an Irish Pub at the popular Jacksonville Landing.

Per NBC 5 in Chicago, Bears fans “flocked” to Jacksonville for the game, with fans crowing into the team hotel on Saturday night.

According to First Coast News, a suspect has been arrested in the slaying.
