Roy Jennings, 54, an African-American man, was found dead on Saturday, October 3, 2015, in the basement of a house at 5309 North 35th Street in Omaha. Family members said he had lived in the area for about two years; neighbors told reporters they had not heard gunfire before officers discovered the body. Loved ones remembered him as a South High graduate who enjoyed football, fishing, and family and said they had worried about his safety for months before his death.

Police activity at the address was not new: 911 dispatchers cited in local reporting said officers had been called to the home eight times in the prior two years. In the days after the discovery, relatives organized efforts to help pay for burial expenses and appealed for answers. Investigators arrested Patricia Hill, 51, and booked her on a charge of being an accessory to a felony; a prosecutor said cleaning supplies were found in the basement near the body and alleged Hill had asked others to help her take care of something and to go clean that up. Hill had called police to report the body and her bond was set at $75,000; a preliminary hearing was scheduled for October 23, 2015. No public report in the cited coverage identified a primary suspect charged with homicide beyond the accessory count.

Does anyone have information about Jennings, the house at 5309 North 35th Street, or the events leading up to October 3, 2015?
