Philmoon Kuku, a 34-year-old man born in Sudan on August 28, 1990, was shot and killed in Lincoln, Nebraska, on February 16, 2025. Known as a devoted father of three and a former high school soccer competitor, Kuku was walking near 13th and E Streets just before noon when an argument with a man who arrived in a Chevy Impala turned deadly. He was shot in the chest, taken to a hospital, and later died of his injuries.

The suspect, identified as 41-year-old Timothy Washington, drove off after the shooting and allegedly went on an almost 80-minute crime spree across Lincoln. Reports say he was involved in a hit-and-run, stabbed a 40-year-old man who suffered non-life-threatening injuries after a mistaken identity attack, stole a vehicle (allowing occupants to remove their infant), struck a pedestrian and multiple vehicles, crashed twice and fled on foot before being taken into custody. Washington was arrested for first-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony; additional charges were expected as the investigation continued.

Does anyone in Lincoln have information about Kuku, the events near 13th and E Streets that day, or the movements of the Chevy Impala before the shooting?
