Major Crimes Detectives Continue Stabbing Investigation - The Suspect, a Convicted Felon, Arrested for Felony Assault 1st Degree
Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives continue to investigate a stabbing that occurred yesterday afternoon in the area of Appleway Blvd and S. Dishman Mica Road. Deputies responding to the call located the suspect and his vehicle minutes later, and he was safely detained. The suspect was booked into jail on a felony assault charge. At last check, the adult male victim was in serious but stable condition.
On June 3, 2026, at approximately 1:35 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a stabbing in the 9300 block of E. 1st Avenue in Spokane Valley. The caller said the victim was being transported in a private vehicle to the hospital, and the suspect, later identified as 34-year-old Jayde A. Brown, was last seen driving west on Sprague Avenue in a black Chevy truck with Idaho license plates.
Minutes later, a responding Deputy located Brown and his truck near E. Augusta Avenue and N. Ella Road, where Brown was detained without incident.
Major Crimes Detectives also responded to continue the investigation.
Brown was advised of his rights, denied any involvement in the incident, and said anyone identifying him as a suspect is a hater trying to sabotage him.
Investigators observed a green-handled folding knife and a black fixed-blade knife inside Brown’s vehicle, which they seized as evidence pending a search warrant.
Initial information indicates that the victim, the witnesses, and Brown all know each other. The victim and witnesses were at the location working on a disabled vehicle when Brown arrived in his truck. Brown appeared angry and was yelling at one of the witnesses when the victim approached him. The situation quickly escalated when Brown got out of his vehicle and stabbed the victim in the neck.
The witnesses helped the victim, got him into a personal vehicle, and one drove him to the hospital for additional care.
Brown continued yelling and got back into his truck before driving away.
During interviews, Investigators also learned of an unreported violent incident involving Brown that occurred approximately four or five days earlier. At that time, Brown, armed with a knife and hammer, was involved in an altercation with a different male in the same general area. Fortunately, when the fight broke up, the male did not appear to be injured.
A check of Brown’s name revealed that he is a convicted felon. One of his previous felony convictions was in 2014 for “Battery with Intent to Commit a Serious Felony” in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where he stabbed a male whom he knew in the chest.
Brown was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Assault 1st Degree, a felony.
