Michael John Mike Oehme, 57, was killed on January 6, 2017, in the mass shooting at Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport. He was in Fort Lauderdale with his wife, Kari Oehme, preparing to board a cruise when the shooter opened fire in the baggage claim area. Kari Oehme was wounded but survived.

Michael Oehme was a licensed surveyor from Council Bluffs, Iowa, and co-owner of Boundaryline Surveys in Omaha. The attacker, identified as 26-year-old Esteban Santiago, retrieved a gun from checked luggage and fired randomly, killing five people and wounding six others before being arrested at the scene. The attack was later tied to Santiago’s travel to Fort Lauderdale and his history of mental health complaints.

Mike Oehme is remembered by family as a dedicated professional, husband, and father. If anyone knew Mike or was at the airport that day and has information to add, please share what you remember.
