Portland Police Seek Witnesses After Fatal Stabbing Near Tukey's Bridge

Investigators released detailed descriptions of pedestrians, cyclists and a pickup driver to help verify an affidavit that names a suspect in the killing.

Overview

  • A 21-year-old man, Julian “Juju” Nadeau, was found mortally wounded after a single chest stab and later died at Maine Medical Center.
  • Court documents identify 58-year-old Glen Rodney as the suspect and say an argument escalated into threats, a chase and the fatal stabbing.
  • Police are asking the public to help corroborate the affidavit by contacting them about specific people seen on the Back Cove Trail that night.
  • Authorities described three men in white T-shirts speaking Spanish, a man and woman in their early 20s wearing bicycle helmets, and the driver of an older light tan or gold pickup, possibly a Nissan or Toyota.
  • One local report says Rodney was arrested and faces a murder charge but investigators continue to seek witness accounts to confirm the exact sequence of events.
