Dunwoody woman fatally stabbed by her brother, police say
Dunwoody police said a woman who was stabbed to death Tuesday afternoon and the man suspected of killing her were siblings.
Officers were called to the Point at Perimeter apartment complex just before 1:30 p.m. for a wellness check, Dunwoody police spokesman Sgt. Michael Cheek said in a news release. At the scene, they found 38-year-old Sabrina Johnson dead from a stab wound.
Police identified 36-year-old David Johnson, her brother, as the suspect. He was located nearby and ran when officers made contact with him, Cheek said. He was quickly taken into custody.
David Johnson was booked into the DeKalb jail on charges of murder, home invasion and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, Cheek said.
No further information has been released about the circumstances around the stabbing.
