VILLA PARK, IL — A Villa Park man was charged with killing his live-in girlfriend and mother of his three children, police said Friday.

Marco-Antonio Rubio, 25, faces two counts of first-degree murder. His bond was set at $3 million. The victim was Esmeralda DeLuna, 24, also of Villa Park, police said.
About 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Villa Park police responded to a disturbance at a Princeton Drive house. Officers knocked on the door and heard crying coming from inside, according to a news release from the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Two girls from 3 to 6 years old and a 1-year-old boy were found inside. Officers followed a trail of blood in the living room that led to DeLuna, who was lying in the kitchen with an 8-inch butcher knife in her leg and stab wounds in her torso, police said. She was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
After the attack, Rubio left. An investigation into the killing led authorities to Rubio, who was taken into custody early the following morning while walking near Harvard Avenue and Elm Street in Villa Park, police said.
On May 7, Rubio was served an order of protection, with DeLuna listed as the petitioner, police said.
“Sadly, the charges filed against Mr. Rubio mark the second time this week my office has filed first-degree murder charges as a result of escalating domestic violence,” State’s Attorney Robert Berlin said in the release.
