Markeise Dunn was 16 when he was shot and killed late on the morning of November 26, 2016, near 24th and Pratt Streets in Omaha while walking his girlfriend to a bus stop. Witnesses said a car pulled up alongside before gunfire; officers found Dunn critically wounded around 10:30–10:45 a.m. and he later died at Creighton University Medical Center.

Early alerts asked the public to look for a maroon four-door vehicle with California plates and a reward was offered for tips. Investigators arrested 21-year-old Otis L. Walker on charges including first-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. Walker’s first trial in June 2019 ended in a mistrial; at a second trial a Douglas County jury acquitted him on March 17, 2021, of first-degree murder and related gun charges. A judge later imposed a 20-year sentence for witness tampering linked to the case.

With no one convicted of the shooting itself, Markeise Dunn’s killing remains unsolved. If anyone knew Dunn, saw a maroon four-door car with California plates that morning, or has other information, please come forward.
