    April 6, 2020 Alpharetta: Alpharetta police worked the scene on Monday, April 6, 2020 after an 18-year-old man was taken into custody after police said he stabbed three people in an Alpharetta home, killing one. Shortly before 5 a.m. Monday, police received a call about a domestic disturbance at a home on Nathan Circle, according to Alpharetta police spokesman Sgt. Howard Miller. The disturbance involved a person with a knife, he said. When police arrived, a man covered in blood met them at the door. The man told police that he and some of his family members had been stabbed. The family members were still inside the house, Miller said. Officers went inside the residence and found a woman and a man suffering from stab wounds. The woman’s condition was not released, but the man was pronounced dead. Investigators said the 18-year-old suspect fled before police got to the scene. Alpharetta police called for a K-9 to assist in the investigation, and Johns Creek police brought their police dog to track the suspect down. He was found about 100 yards behind the home and surrendered peacefully, Miller said. The suspect was also hurt, but investigators aren’t sure how he received his injuries. He and the injured victims are being treated at a hospital. It is not clear how the suspect and the man he is accused of killing are related, Miller said. However, police believe the victim could be the suspect’s father. “We have no reason to believe there is a danger to our community,” police said. Police have not released the names of the suspect or any of the victims. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
