Lincoln Police have made an arrest following a deadly shooting at the Casey’s store at 13th and ‘E’ Street. LPD says the shooter, identified as 23-year-old Emanuel Greenwalt-Claypool of Lincoln, has been arrested for 2nd degree murder, use of a firearm to commit a felony and 2nd degree assault.
LPD Public Information Manager Erika Thomas says when officers arrived at the scene they found one man with life-threatening injuries. Another man, believed to be an innocent bystander, had non-life-threatening injuries.
“Officers on scene began providing first aid to both victims before Lincoln Fire & Rescue took over life-saving measures,” Thomas says. Both were taken to an area hospital where the man suffering life-threatening-injuries later died.
“The preliminary investigation and witness statements indicate there was a disturbance between the shooter and the victim who died in the parking lot prior to the shooting inside,” Thomas says. “The shooter stayed on scene, surrendered his firearm to officers and is cooperating with the investigation.”
Police are expected to release more details during a Friday morning media briefing. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call the non-emergency number at 402-441-6000.
