He calls himself “Grim Creepa.” And before he allegedly hacked her nearly to death with an ax, his girlfriend called him “Mr. 187” — street slang for murderer.
Law enforcement sources on Saturday night confirmed that they have charged this man in the ax attack on two young moms that left one dead and another fighting for her life.
The suspect, violent ex-convict Jerry Brown, 34, was charged early Sunday with murder, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon, for the ax, police said.
He was being held in a psychiatric lockup, the sources said.
The attack left Savannah Rivera, 20, the pregnant mom of a three-year-old son, dead from near-decapitation.
Rivera’s friend, Angela Valle, is hospitalized with multiple massive lacerations, including to the back of her head.
The suspect knew both women, police have said.
Brown was dating Valle as recently as last month.
Valle’s Facebook posts from November through March were filled with affection for her beau, who she calls “Grim Creepa.”
“My heart,” she called him in one post from late December.
Chillingly, just six weeks ago, she posted a photo of him sitting shirtless on a messy bed.
“My f—ing man doe!!!” she gushed. “Mr. 187 him self,” she added, a reference to Section 187 of the California penal code, the section that encompasses homicide. It’s a staple reference in gangsta rap.
“I love you Daddy,” she added.
“I love u my queen,” he responded.
Reached by phone by WPIX11 before his arrest, he admitted that he’d suffered a cut to his hand — and asked their reporter if his girlfriend is “okay.”
Told she was fighting for her life, he sobbed, the report said.
Brown has 13 prior arrests, including for assault, robbery, burglary and strangulation, along with the more minor offenses of turnstile jumping and drinking in public, sources said.

Victims Savannah Rivera (L) and Angela Valle (R).
“This was a brutal, a terrible, vicious, vicious attack. Both victims suffered multiple deep, deep lacerations.”
The savagery came to light at 1:30 a.m. when blood-drenched Angela Valle, 21, called an Uber to 811 Flushing Ave. in the Bushwick Houses, police sources told The Post.
Valle suffered a life-threatening blade chop to the back of her head, along with gashes to her chest, arms, stomach and throat, sources said — and although she asked to be driven to the hospital, the Uber driver called 911.
She was able to tell medics two things before losing consciousness, the sources said.
One was that her ex-boyfriend had attacked her and her friend, who was still inside the eighth-floor apartment, the sources told The Post.
The other was that her little girl, Aliana, was also inside.
Police rushed to the apartment and discovered a horrific scene.
A woman was lying on the living-room floor.
She had been partially decapitated. Some of her fingers were severed. There were more stab wounds throughout her head and body.
Police identified her as Savannah Rivera, 20.
The young mother — who had a 3-year-old son, Sebastian, and who was two months pregnant — was pronounced dead at the scene.
Valle’s daughter was found asleep and unharmed in a back bedroom, the sources said.
