(Seattle Times) A man accused of killing four people in 2014 in a self-proclaimed “jihad” to avenge U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East has been brought back to Seattle to face three aggravated first-degree murder charges here, after receiving a life sentence in New Jersey for one murder.
Ali Muhammad Brown, now 34, was booked into the King County Jail on Wednesday afternoon. The former Seattle resident pleaded guilty in March 2018 to the ambush killing of New Jersey college student Brendan Tevlin and was sentenced a month later to life in prison without parole. He had been sentenced to 35 years for a New Jersey armed robbery committed before he killed Tevlin, 19, outside Newark.
Tevlin’s June 25, 2014, slaying came a couple of months after the killings here, in which prosecutors say Brown gunned down one man in Skyway and two in Seattle.
