Lincoln Police have arrested a 55 year old man for the stabbing death of 61 year old Ronald George in field near 3rd and P Street early Wednesday morning.
William Wright was arrested around 7:00 Wednesday night for second degree murder. Police Chief Teresa Ewins says the relationship of the two men is not yet known. She says George was stabbed with a knife and suffered a wound to his neck.
“Investigative efforts and interviews conducted led us to an additional location near NW 12th and West Bond Street where a suspicious death is currently being investigated,” Ewins says.
She says they are trying to determine if both deaths are connected. “We believe the suspicious death happened first and then the death of Mr. George happened after.” Ewins says they are trying to put together the time line of both deaths. She also adds that Wright is being cooperative with investigators.
LPD will have more details at a Friday morning news conference.
