A Portland man has been charged in the death of a 21-year-old in the Forest City earlier this week.
Glen Rodney, 58, faces a murder charge in the death of Julian Nadeau of Portland, according to Brad Nadeau, a spokesperson for the Portland Police Department.
Julian Nadeau was walking with friends Wednesday night on the path near Tukey’s Bridge, which carries Interstate 295 over the entrance to Back Cove.
Rodney approached them on a bicycle, and a fight broke out, during which Nadeau suffered injuries that would prove fatal.
Police found Nadeau in the breakdown lane along the southbound side of the highway about 9:47 p.m. Nadeau was taken to Maine Medical Center but didn’t survive.
Rodney, who had fled on the bicycle, was arrested without incident just minutes later on Presumpscot Street in the city’s East Deering neighborhood, Nadeau, the spokesperson, said Friday morning.
The investigation is ongoing, and no more details are being released at this time.
