A 29-year-old man died Sunday after he was stabbed near the Kroger by Ponce City Market on the Atlanta Beltline, police said.

The victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries, police said. His identity has not been released.

Police detained 54-year-old Jonathan Hamby in connection with the stabbing. Investigators do not believe Hamby and the victim knew each other.

Hamby has been arrested more than 30 times, including in cases involving possession of a knife and aggravated assault, according to records. Police said he is on active probation following an aggravated assault case in Brookhaven.

Court records from DeKalb County show Hamby pleaded guilty in 2024 to carrying a weapon within a school safety zone. He was initially sentenced to 10 years, with two years to be served in custody and the remaining eight years on probation, records show.

Records show Hamby did not complete required anger management and a mental health evaluation in 2025. Police said they have not ruled out whether mental health played a role in the stabbing.
