Suspect arrested in southeast Omaha slaying

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have arrested a 25-year-old suspect in the slaying of a man who died after being found on the steps of a southeast Omaha residence.

Police said Tuesday the man was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder and use of a weapon in the slaying of 51-year-old Troy Giles. Online court records don’t show the suspect’s been formally charged yet.

Police say a woman walking her dog spotted Giles and alerted officers around 2:15 a.m. on Feb. 22. Paramedics sent to the scene performed CPR on Giles before sending him to Nebraska Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
