Eric Bechtolt, a 45-year-old White man, was found fatally shot inside the Florence Tower apartments in north Omaha on Sunday, April 13, 2025. Police responded shortly after 6 p.m. to reports of shots fired near Browne Street and Florence Boulevard; officers entering the building heard gunfire on the sixth floor, moved by stairwell and found Bechtolt deceased in the hallway.

Investigators say a suspect had been agitated and armed on that floor as residents sheltered or evacuated. Officers encountered 50-year-old Billy Dorrall armed with two handguns; gunfire was exchanged, Dorrall sustained a non-life-threatening wound, then complied and was taken into custody. He was transported for treatment and later booked on charges including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, multiple counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony, and felon in possession of a firearm. Police identified Officer Alex Atkinson as the officer who fired his service weapon during the confrontation.

Authorities reported their investigation indicated Dorrall shot and killed Bechtolt during a disturbance before officers arrived. Does anyone have information about Bechtolt, his movements that day, or what led to the disturbance on the sixth floor?
