Larcell Starks, a 38-year-old Black man and lifelong resident of Omaha, Nebraska, was shot to death on the afternoon of Saturday, September 19, 2009. He was found inside his vehicle near 49th and Ames Avenue with a gunshot wound; the car had been struck by multiple bullets. First responders performed CPR and transported him to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Omaha police treated Starks’s death as a homicide and opened an investigation. Officers were simultaneously investigating another fatal shooting that occurred about two hours earlier nearby in which 20-year-old Justin Gaines was found shot inside his vehicle; authorities said they were working to determine whether the two killings were related. In the days after the shootings police identified Starks publicly but released no information about suspects or a motive, and no arrests have been announced.

The murder of Larcell Starks remains unsolved. If anyone knew Larcell or has information about what happened near 49th and Ames Avenue that afternoon, please come forward to help investigators.
