Woburn Man Wanted In Connection With Violent Stabbing

WOBURN, MA — Police are searching for a Woburn man in connection with a violent Aug. 4 stabbing of a man and pregnant woman he knew, officials said Friday.

Tyler Oliver, 24, has been charged with two counts of assault to murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon on a pregnant victim and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Woburn Chief of Police Robert Rufo said.

Around 10:50 p.m. Aug. 4, Woburn police were sent to a Washington Street home for a "disturbance," officials said. Police found two victims, a man and a woman, with stab and slash wounds to their heads and faces.

Investigators believe Olivier arrived at his home and found the two victims outside the home where they rent an apartment, police said. During the encounter with them, he became angry and went inside to get a knife, came back out and stabbed and slashed the victims, police said.

The suspect then fled in a white Jeep Summit.

The knife was found at the scene of the stabbing. Police found the car in Connecticut but have not found Olivier, they said.

Officials asked that anyone with information on Olivier's whereabouts should not approach him and should contact Woburn police at 781-933-1212.

He is described as roughly six feet one inch tall, weighing 190 to 230 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes and a muscular build.

Olivier has known ties to Florida, California and Connecticut and may have fled the Woburn area, police said.

Woburn and state police and the district attorney's office are actively investigating the case.

All people are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
