The Tucson Police Department is actively investigating the death of 27-year-old Nathan Olney that took place on Friday afternoon on the east side of town.
On August 21, 2015 at approximately 12:30 p.m., officers from Operations Division East responded to the report of a
stabbing in the area of East Golf Links Road and South Craycroft Road. Upon arrival, officers located Mr. Olney in the alley, northeast of the intersection. The male had obvious signs of trauma, consistent with stab wounds. Two citizens were rendering aid to the victim. Officers took over medical treatment, using their Individual First Aid Kits (IFAK) in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Tucson Fire responded to continue treatment, but Mr. Olney victim was pronounced deceased on the scene shortly after their arrival.
Detectives from the Tucson Police Department’s Homicide Unit and Aggravated Assault Unit responded to the scene to
continue the investigation. Detectives learned that the two males rendering aid lived in the area and knew Mr. Olney. They told police that the victim approached them in the alley and advised them he had been stabbed and needed help. The two men called police and then began rendering aid.
Detectives are following up on several investigative leads at this time, but are asking anyone with information to please call 911 or 88-CRIME.
