PHOENIX — A 38-year-old man was arrested Friday after allegedly stabbing his 73-year-old roommate to death at a home in north Phoenix, according to police.
Officers responded around 11:45 a.m. to a report of “unknown trouble” near 35th Street and Campo Bello Drive. Upon arrival, they found Jack Olsen on the floor with multiple stab wounds. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene.
