Lincoln Police say 18 year old Julian Martinez was the victim of Saturday’s deadly shooting outside a home near 18th and Euclid. Assistant Chief Brian Jackson says a neighborhood argument between Martinez and 29 year old Armon Rejai escalated quickly and led to gunfire.
Jackson says when officers arrived around 10:20 a.m. they found Martinez suffering from a gunshot wound. “Dispatchers directed officers to an apartment at that same location where the caller stated he had just shot someone.”
Martinez died from his wounds at a Lincoln hospital. Rejai was booked for 2nd degree homicide and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Police say Rejai and Martinez lived in adjacent properties.
Police recovered a handgun belonging to Rejai at the scene. No other weapons were found.
