It happened around 6:45 a.m. Police said it occurred while she was jogging on one of the trails in the park. Police said Brown stabbed the victim multiple times. The victim did not know Brown and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Police found video surveillance of Brown running from the scene. The photo was shown to Brown's parents, who identified the person in the video as her son.

TPD tried to talk with Brown at his parents' house, but Brown fled on foot. Brown was arrested near Turkey Mountain Thursday evening after admitting he was the person running from the scene in the video.
