Forell Isaac, 39, has been convicted of the first-degree murder of girlfriend Linique Green, 29, in September 2021 following what was described as a "tumultuous romantic relationship," where he showed concerning behavior.
Officers from the Baltimore Police Department found Green on Sept. 12, 2021 suffering from multiple stab wounds to her torso in the 1100 block of North Milton Avenue, according to officials.
She was taken to an area hospital where she later died from her injuries, and her death was ruled a homicide by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
The joint investigation by police in Baltimore and the ATF led them to identify Isaac as a suspect in the murder, and he was indicted last summer on the charges.
According to the investigation, Isaac and Green had been involved in a “tumultuous romantic relationship,” and it was later determined that Isaac tracked Green for several blocks from her home before chasing her down and stabbing her to death nine times in the back and chest, leaving her body in the middle of the street.
At trial, witnesses said that Isaac exhibited controlling behavior during their relationship and warned Green not to see other people.
Before the stabbing, prosecutors say that Isaac shouted "told ya!" to Green and he was caught on camera fleeing the area by a Baltimore Police Department helicopter.
One witness testified at Isaac's trial that before the murder, he warned them "I'm gonna do you like I did 'Nique.'"
"I first want to thank the brave civilian witnesses who came to court to testify, because, without them, this cause would not have been successful," Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown said.
"While this guilty verdict cannot undue the devastating pain that Ms. Green's family has suffered, my hope is that it will bring them some measure of peace and closure."
In 2007, Isaac was also sentenced to time in prison for attempted arson, according to the DOJ. He is scheduled to be sentenced in November.
“(She) deserved a partner who showed her love, compassion and made her feel safe,” ATF Baltimore Special Agent in Charge Toni Crosby stated. "That is something every person in an intimate relationship deserves.
"Instead, she was threatened, controlled, and ultimately hunted down and murdered by (Isaac) because of his jealousy and insecurities."
