An 18-year-old woman was arrested early Sunday in connection with the stabbing death of another teenager in North Omaha.
Omaha police were called to 3805 N. 53rd St., at 3:10 a.m. and learned that a 17-year-old Omaha girl with stab wounds had been taken to the Nebraska Medical Center by private vehicle. The girl, Ezra Sinkiawic, did not survive.
Kianna Opal, a Blair resident, was identified by witnesses as the person responsible for stabbing Sinkiawic. Opal, who remained at the scene, was taken to Omaha Police Department headquarters and arrested on suspicion of criminal homicide and use of a weapon, a knife, to commit a felony.
Sinkiawic’s death is the sixth Omaha homicide of the year and the first since April 4. That compares with three Omaha homicides at this time in 2023.
