Police say Johnathan Hamby is charged with murder in connection with a fatal stabbing near the Atlanta Beltline Eastside Trail. Authorities allege he stabbed Ramon Harris during the incident, which occurred along the trail.
Multiple outlets report that investigators describe Hamby as having extensive prior involvement with the justice system. Fox News and the New York Post both say he had about 30 prior arrests and was on active probation at the time of the alleged killing. The New York Post adds that police say his probation was connected to an aggravated-assault case.
According to the New York Post, Hamby is booked on charges that include murder, aggravated assault, terroristic threats and acts, and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a felony. Fox News focuses primarily on the murder charge and the probation and arrest history, without listing the full set of charges.
