Sam Bradley was 25 and from Omaha when he was killed in a drive-by shooting just after the Fourth of July. The shooting occurred on a quiet stretch near North 27th Street and Laurel Avenue in the early morning hours of July 5, 2016, around 2:45–3:00 a.m. Bradley was walking with his cousin when a car rolled up and shots rang out; his cousin ran for cover while Bradley was struck. First responders found him outside and he was taken to CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center, where he later died.

Neighbors initially mistook the gunfire for leftover fireworks. Family and witnesses described the night as otherwise spent with relatives; the cousin said they were only steps from a neighbor’s house when someone inside the vehicle opened fire. Investigators canvassed for shell casings, surveillance footage, and tips, but public statements at the time indicated few solid leads and no suspect description beyond a vehicle involved. Police said they believed Bradley may have been targeted at random and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in the area around 27th and Laurel that night see or hear anything that could help identify the vehicle or the people inside?
