Gary Rice, 29, a member of the Ogallala Sioux Nation, was mortally wounded during a violent home invasion in southeast Omaha in early September 2012. Police responded about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 9, to a house near 21st and Poppleton after two intruders forced their way inside. Officers found Rice with at least one gunshot wound and rushed him to the Nebraska Medical Center with life-threatening injuries; he died three days later, on September 11, 2012.

Investigators described the incident as an intrusion in which the assailants forced entry and opened fire. In the immediate aftermath authorities reported no arrests and were seeking tips from the public as the case became a homicide investigation.

If anyone remembers activity around 21st and Poppleton the night of September 9, 2012, or has information about the intruders, please share what you know.
