Point Beach Robbery Suspect Identified, Wanted in Three Homicides

A homeless man who attempted to rob and carjack a victim outside the Green Planet coffee shop in Point Pleasant Beach on Sunday is also wanted on three homicide charges in Washington state and failing to register as a sex offender.

Point Pleasant Beach police identified the man as Ali Muhammad Brown, 30, who is considered to be homeless.

In addition to the three homicide charges out of Seattle, Brown is now wanted on first degree robbery and second degree possession of a weapon in Ocean County.

"The Point Pleasant Beach Police department is currently working with other agencies, including the Seattle, Washington Police and US Marshals Service to bring Brown into custody," said Detective Patrick Petruzziello in a statement issued Tuesday morning.

Brown's bail on the Ocean County charges was set at $500,000 cash by Superior Court Judge Francis Hodgson, Petruzziello said.

Brown was recently accused of gunning down 27-year-old Ahmed Said and 23-year-old Dwone Anderson at 29th and King Street in Seattle on June 1, according to a feature posted last month by America's Most Wanted.

According to a report from KIRO-TV, Brown was previously convicted of trying to molest his 6-year-old daughter.

Brown was initially being sought locally after an incident Sunday morning outside the Green Planet coffee shop on Arnold Avenue, where police say he pointed a handgun at a 46-year-old Washington, D.C. man and demanded his money and car keys.

The victim complied, however the suspect ultimately fled the area on foot, police said.

The gun has not been recovered, according to Petruzziello.
