October 13th 2023.
On Wednesday afternoon, October 11th, a shocking incident occurred at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. Details have begun to emerge regarding the suspect, 44-year-old Damaris Milton, who is a resident of Orlando, Florida.
Milton had arrived at the airport in a taxi, driven by Selemon Melkamu. During the trip to the airport, Melkamu was stabbed in the chest near his shoulder while they passed the international sign for the airport on Interstate 285 South. Milton then took his phone and threw it out the window onto the interstate.
Upon arriving at the airport, Milton proceeded to the South Terminal, where she exhibited erratic behavior. This prompted police officers and a U.S. Deputy Marshal to follow her. Milton then attempted to stab a Delta employee inside the airport.
In the struggle to subdue her, an injured police officer was sent to Grady Memorial Hospital and released. The Delta employee was taken to Emory Hospital. Milton was arrested and taken to Clayton County Jail, where she faces four counts of aggravated assault.
During her first court appearance on Thursday, Milton was denied bond. When asked about requiring a public defender, she responded, "Y’all already said what y’all are going to do to me, why am I answering any questions?"
Despite the incident, the security checkpoint at the airport remained operational. The Federal Aviation Administration reported no significant delays due to the incident, although individual flights may have experienced some disruption. The official Atlanta Airport X account issued an “all-clear” notice approximately 40 minutes after the initial stabbing.
This incident has left many people in shock, and the motive for Milton’s behavior has yet to be established. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released.
