For the second time this week, Cobb Police are investigating a homicide at a motel off Windy Hill Road.
Cobb Police Sgt. Eric Smith said that Amatrian Hawkins, 45, of Atlanta, died of multiple stab wounds early Friday morning after officers were called to the Budgetel Inn at 4900 Circle 75 Parkway.
Smith said that another woman, Janiyah Jenkins, 19, of Atlanta, suffered a severe laceration to her right hand. Both women were taken to unspecified hospitals, but Amatrian Hawkins was pronounced dead, Smith said.
The younger woman was released, and Cobb Police have charged Frank Moore, 46, of Atlanta, with felony murder, two counts of aggravated assault and possession of a knife during the commission of a felony. He is being held at the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond, according to his booking report.
Smith said that Moore had fled the scene and was arrested by Atlanta Police and “was familiar to the victims in this case.”
Police said four men have been arrested for a shooting that killed a nine-month-old girl at the same Budgetel earlier this week.
Police are continuing to investigate the Hawkins murder, and said that anyone with information is asked to Cobb Police Major CrimesUnit at (770) 499-3945.
