Atlanta Police have identified the suspect who fatally stabbed a woman on the Atlanta Beltline as Jahmare Brown, 21.
According to Fulton County Jail records, Brown was booked on charges of murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and possession of a knife for the May 14 homicide.
On Friday, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Alyssa Paige, 23.
The incident occurred near the Montgomery Ferry Road overpass in Ansley Park around 12:10 p.m. on Thursday. Paige was rushed to Grady Hospital in critical condition, but succumbed to her injuries, according to police.
Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said Brown also allegedly attacked a U.S. postal worker with a rock at the Plasters Avenue post office just before the Beltline stabbing. That victim was receiving treatment at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Schierbaum said both attacks appeared to be “random” and that witnesses at the post office said Brown appeared to be suffering a mental health crisis.
An hours-long manhunt for Brown ended on Peachtree Street in Midtown when two APD officers spotted the suspect riding the bicycle seen in Beltline surveillance images.
During an evening press conference, Schierbaum said Georgia Tech Police had interacted with the suspect on May 13, and surveillance images and information also aided APD officers in their search.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday that Brown has a prior criminal history. He entered a negotiated guilty plea in February on a battery charge and another negotiated guilty plea in November 2025 on charges of loitering, willful obstruction, giving false information, and disorderly conduct.
