On June 16, 2013, at about 1:23 a.m., multiple gunshots were reported near 2254 Saratoga Street in Omaha. A ShotSpotter activation led officers to a gathering at 2220 Saratoga Street where two young men had been struck. Seventeen-year-old DMarco Pope, a Black male, was found inside the residence in critical condition and transported to Creighton University Medical Center, where he later died. Eighteen-year-old Brendon Ford was located outside and pronounced dead at the scene.

Omaha police canvassed the neighborhood and appealed to the public for leads, but no arrests were reported in the days after the shooting. The deaths of DMarco Pope and Brendon Ford remain unsolved, and the Omaha Police Department and Omaha Crime Stoppers continue to seek information. If anyone has information about that night or the people involved, please contact authorities.
