A man accused of stabbing another man to death in a jealous rage in downtown Pasadena will be back in a Pasadena courtroom Monday morning for a pretrial hearing at the Pasadena Courthouse.

Telly R. Johnson, 42, of Los Angeles is charged with murder for the March 1, 2019, stabbing death of 52-year-old Byron Nettles of Pasadena, according to Pasadena police officials and Los Angeles County coroner’s records.

The deadly stabbing took place about 9 a.m. in the 100 block of South Euclid Avenue, where Nettles lived, Pasadena police said in a written statement after Johnson’s arrest.

It set off an hours-long search by police which shut down a large swath of downtown Pasadena as officers went block-by-block searching for Johnson.

Nettles was found suffering from stab wounds and taken to a hospital, where he was ultimately pronounced dead, officials said.

An autopsy determined he died from “stab wounds of the chest” and the death was ruled a homicide, according to Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner records.

The killer ran away before police arrived, officials said. Officers searched the area, but he was not immediately found. But the suspect was identified through subsequent investigation.

“Detectives diligently continued their investigation and requested the U.S. Marshal’s Pacific Southwest Regional Fugitive Task Force to surveil a location in Los Angeles,” the police statement said. Investigators spotted Johnson that night in the 1900 block of Cordova Street in Los Angeles, where he was taken into custody.

Detectives determined Johnson stabbed Nettles because he believed the victim had become involved in a relationship with Johnson’s longtime girlfriend, Pasadena police Lt. Jesse Carrillo said.
