Omaha police release names of stabbing victim, suspect

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have released the name of a man who was fatally stabbed in a boardinghouse.

Officers who were sent to the boardinghouse a little after 9:15 p.m. Sunday found a man suffering from wounds made by a knife or other cutting instrument. He was taken to an Omaha hospital, where he died. A news release from Officer James Shade identified the dead man as 27-year-old Shane McKinley.

A suspect already has been booked into jail on suspicion of second-degree murder and use of a weapon. He was identified as 49-year-old Edward Pokorny III. It's unclear whether Pokorny has an attorney who could be contacted to comment on his behalf.
