The incident occurred at 725 Ponce de Leon Avenue around 4 p.m., involving a 29-year-old male resident. Authorities police identified and detained the suspect, 54-year-old Jonathan Hamby, who has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nypd-times-square-shooting-suspect-has-lengthy-criminal-history\/\" title=\"NYPD: Times Square shooting ... has lengthy criminal history\">lengthy criminal history<\/a> and was on active probation for an earlier aggravated assault. The police believe the attack resulted from a verbal altercation that escalated, with the suspect retrieving a knife and fatally stabbing the victim. The weapon used has been recovered. This incident follows another stabbing on the beltline in May, which resulted in the death of a 23-year-old woman. The story is ongoing and further updates are expected.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A man died after being <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/crime\/\">stabbed<\/a> on Sunday afternoon in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/atlanta\/\">Atlanta<\/a>, Georgia, near the Beltline, a popular walking trail that stretches through much of the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident occurred at 725 Ponce de Leon Avenue shortly after 4 p.m., <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.11alive.com\/video\/news\/crime\/atlanta-police-give-update-on-deadly-stabbing-on-atlanta-beltline\/85-df9b4c74-679b-460c-824d-b1282c2cca2f\">according to<\/a> Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum.
