On Friday afternoon, October 12, 2012, 17-year-old Brandin Princole was walking to a friend’s house near North 46th Street and Larimore Avenue in Omaha when a passing car’s occupants opened fire. First responders reached the scene around 2:40 p.m., found Brandin with gunshot wounds, and administered CPR before rushing him to the University of Nebraska Medical Center; he died shortly after arrival.

Brandin, described by those who knew him as funny and caring, had faced recent struggles. About a month earlier he was expelled from Burke High School and arrested for bringing a handgun to school; he was charged with felony possession of a firearm on school grounds, released on bail, and transferred to Parrish Alternative School.

More than a decade later the killing remains unsolved with no arrests reported. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Anyone with information about Brandin’s shooting is asked to contact the Omaha Police Department.
