Victim's wife on Peachtree Street shooting suspect: 'That man is crazy'

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Police say the man responsible for shooting and killing a lawyer on her way to work is also responsible for a double-stabbing at a midtown Atlanta construction site the day before.

Channel 2's Nicole Carr spoke exclusively to the wife of one of those stabbing victims Thursday.

Loren Chirinos said her husband is haunted by the attack. His co-worker remains at Grady Memorial Hospital.

"The man is crazy," Chirinos said about Raylon Browning, the same man accused of stabbing her husband's co-worker on Sunday and killing an Atlanta attorney in midtown the very next morning.

"For every family, I pray to Jesus. It's not good," Chirinos told Carr.

Almicar Chirinos' stitches are being removed from his head. But his wife said his co-worker is in worse shape.

She said her husband and brother-in-law were drinking coffee on their midtown work site Sunday morning when they heard someone being attacked.

"(They heard) people crying and my brother-in-law (went) looking for the man … he stabbed three times," Chirinos said.

Almicar Chirinos would be the next attacked. Then, the next day, he "attacked the other woman. It's not good," Chirinos told Carr.

Police said Browning was the man seen in surveillance video leaving the scene of Trinh Huyn's Peachtree Street murder. They believe Browning shot her several times in the back.

Investigators tied all the attacks together after Browning was arrested during a Cobb County traffic stop Tuesday.

By Thursday morning, he was in the Fulton County Jail medical unit.

Warrants said once he got to prison, he randomly attacked another inmate and had to be stunned by a Taser. Later the same night, detention officers suited up in a hazmat suits to stun him again, after he wouldn't stop chewing on his arm and spitting blood into the cell.

Chirinos told Carr she is just glad her husband survived.

“Jesus is good,” Chirinos said.

After waiving his first appearance this morning, Browning is due in Fulton County Court for a preliminary hearing at the end of the month.
