The original incident occurred shortly before 8:45p.m. on April 19 when the 37-year-old victim walked from a nearby store to his vehicle. Bramel-Allen allegedly stabbed the victim multiple times in the chest then stole the vehicle before fleeing the scene.

Responding Edmonds Police officers provided medical treatment to the victim until fire/EMS arrived, but unfortunately, the victim succumbed to his injuries before being transported from the scene. Multiple witnesses provided officers with crucial information about what had occurred.

The victim’s vehicle was found abandoned in Seattle early Thursday morning and was impounded for evidence. Bramel-Allen was spotted a few hours later and fled into Volunteer Park located in the Seattle area. Seattle Police apprehended Bramel-Allen after a short foot chase, then was taken to Harbor View Medical Hospital for self-inflicted wound to his neck before being turned over to the custody of Edmonds Police.

Bramel-Allen is expected to be charged with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery, both of which are Class A felonies with a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Investigators have determined this was likely not a random attack and are still investigating how the victim and suspect knew each other and why they were together at this location. Also, Edmonds police shared that the stolen vehicle did not belong to the victim who died, but he had been allowed to use it.

According to Washington State Patrol, Bramel-Allen has been arrested nine times before and has two felonies for drug-related charges on his criminal record.

Anyone with information about the incident or Bramel-Allen’s whereabouts before or after the incident are asked to contact the Edmonds Police Department via email at policetips@edmondswa.gov or by calling EPD at 425-771-0200 and reference EPD case 23-7966.
