Omaha Man Arrested in Knife Death of 74-Year-Old

omaha-police(AP) — Authorities say a 21-year-old man has been arrested in the knifing death of a 74-year-old in Omaha.

A police news release says Cedric Hatten was arrested on Tuesday. Douglas County Jail records say Hatten was being held Wednesday on charges that included second-degree murder and two weapons counts. Online court records don’t list the name of his attorney.

Police say Paul Riederer told officers he was stabbed after confronting two people early in the morning on Aug. 20. Riederer was taken to an Omaha hospital, where he died.

No other arrest in the case has been reported.
