Police have arrested a man in connection with a deadly stabbing which took place in Ketchikan earlier this month.
On Aug. 10, the Ketchikan Police Department responded to a report of a man with a stab wound in the chest. They found Wayne Nathan on the front porch of a Park Avenue home, and he later died at a hospital.
Witnesses at the scene told police the two men were involved in a fight that ended when Zachariah Willard stabbed Nathan through the heart. A knife with a 5-inch blade was found in Willard’s bedroom and identified as the weapon used in Nathan’s death.
Ketchikan police issued an arrest warrant for Willard Monday. He was charged with second-degree murder and taken to the Ketchikan Correctional Center.
