CHICAGO—A 22-year-old man has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in a frenzied stabbing rampage that killed four people in a matter of minutes in a northern Illinois city, authorities said Thursday.

Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley said during a news conference that Christian Soto will be in court Thursday afternoon to hear the charges and for a judge to determine if he will remain in jail pending trial.
