Jahmed Haynes, 48, is suspected of carjacking Ruth Dalton, 80, near the intersection of Martin Luther King Junior Way East and East Harrison Street in the Madison Valley neighborhood, 2.8 miles northeast of downtown Seattle, just before 10 a.m. Tuesday, according to Seattle police.

SPD Deputy Chief Eric Barden says Haynes had gotten into the passenger side of Dalton’s blue Subaru SUV and attempted to push her out the driver’s door while at least two dogs were inside the vehicle.

Dalton was dragged outside the car during a struggle with Haynes while the felon veered off the road, striking a planter and grass patch.

“That is when citizens stopped their cars in the road to come and assist (Dalton),” Barden said at a press conference Wednesday morning.

“One of the citizens came up to the car to engage with the suspect and (Haynes) produced a knife. The witness backed off and grabbed a “large stick or a bat” to confront the carjacker.

Haynes reversed the vehicle into two parked cars, where Dalton was run over and left to die.

Haynes fled in Dalton’s car as witnesses attempted live-saving CPR.

Dalton was remembered as a lovely neighbor following her death.

“She is somebody that people really loved, and she’s been a neighborhood fixture in the Madison Park neighborhood for a long time,” Dalton’s friend Susan Lindsay told KOMO. “She (is) going to be so missed.”

“I hope she’s at peace. We all love her, everybody loves her, and I know she’s looking down,” Melanie Roberts, Dalton’s granddaughter, told the outlet. “She was feisty. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that she would try to make sure her client’s dogs were safe. She wouldn’t have thought two seconds about herself.”

Around 3 p.m. Tuesday, police received a report of a man “hurting a dog” at the Brighton Playfield in the Hillman City neighborhood, approximately 5.5 miles from where the carjacking occurred.

“An animal control officer was dispatched to that scene [and] found a dog stabbed to death,” Barden said.

The dog’s collar indicated the dead canine belonged to Dalton. Family identified the dog as one of Dalton’s named Prince.

Seattle police arrested Haynes for investigation of homicide and animal cruelty.

Police are unsure how Haynes escaped from the Brighton Playfield, where they found Dalton’s car abandoned nearby with a cracked windshield and damage to the rear.

Detectives later connected Haynes to both crime scenes using a fingerprint discovered on Dalton’s phone.

A SWAT team arrested the suspected killer near his residence in Capitol Hill.

Following the arrest, police recovered a bloody knife and the keys from the stolen vehicle.

Homicide detectives are expected to request charges for murder in the first degree under the felony murder rule, and animal cruelty in the first degree.

He was convicted of vehicular homicide and hit and run in 1993, plead guilty to a controlled substance on school ground charge in 1995 and convicted of 1st Degree Robbery in 1999, according to court records viewed by The Post.

This guy is actually unbelievably on point here.

Is it true? No.
Can you risk saying it's not true? No, you cannot. That's what makes it true.

Oh, I’m well aware that he’s right. Though, I’m more so on the line of how many black people actually care about this information surrounding the fact that a black person “invented” the telescope?

I thought we were still in the “black people invented peanut butter” conversation.

I’m not really watching this year’s Democratic National Convention, but just seeing so many black celebrities and entertainers of yesteryear trying to manipulate and force other black Americans to believe that Kamala Harris is the force of change because she’s both black and Indian who graduated from a HBCU is both funny, though weird.

I’d dare say depressing, but I don’t put too much stock in Kabuki theater like politics. It just sucks that black Americans are still getting gaslit and fed being forced to vote for the Democrat Party 96 to 98 percent of the time.

It worked for five generations, and there's no indication it won't work now. The Dems just need to keep their attention on a dog-and-pony show, instead of their miserable circumstances.

Peanuts, a New World crop, have been mashed into a paste since pre-Columbian times. Conceivably Aztecs might have enjoyed chocolate and peanut butter at the same time, but that's just fun speculation on my part.

It's kind of like the big Mediterranean debate over who invented hummus when that's basically the same thing with chickpeas. Apparently something like hummus has existed since the times of Ancient Egypt (which, of course, mean its invention is properly credited to niggers).
