Englewood woman gets 15 years for fatally poisoning boyfriend with bleach
Yasmine Elder, 27, was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison for killing her boyfriend, Darrius Ellis, by forcing him to drink bleach in 2017. Prosecutors said Elder argued with Ellis, 24, inside a minivan after picking him up from work. She allegedly straddled him, grabbed his dreadlocks and doused his face with bleach, causing it to go down his throat, prosecutors said. As Elder walked away from the minivan, she heard Ellis yell he couldn’t breathe, prosecutors said. At the time of the murder, Elder was on court supervision for hitting a neighbor with a metal lock, prosecutors said.
