Witnesses identified the suspect as Edward “Herbie” Miller. Security footage obtained by officers showed Brown and Miller heading towards a staircase on the hotel’s second floor. Miller, holding a knife, was approached by Brown with a beverage bottle. Miller turned around as Brown threw the bottle, went back up the stairs, and stabbed Brown. Miller then held onto Brown briefly before they separated and went in different directions.
