Sacramento Hate Crime Stabbing Suspect Turns Himself In

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) -- The suspect in an alleged hate crime stabbing of three local musicians has turned himself in.

Timothy Brownell was originally charged with felony assault, but after further investigation police believe he may have yelled f—– before the alleged attack.

A Facebook post detailed the Sunday night incident at 21st and O streets. It shows Blake Abbey, a lead singer of local band Musical Charis, lying in a hospital bed after being stabbed several times.

Abbey says in the post that he and two other musicians were leaving a Midtown bar when someone they were approached by someone who called them the slur because they were wearing tight jeans.
