On February 8, 2025, Pedro Velazquez, a 60-year-old Hispanic man, was shot dead while walking his dogs near 28th and Y Streets in South Omaha, Nebraska. He was accosted by two people who intended to rob him; Velazquez was struck in the head and was pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters and police responded to a 911 call just before 5 a.m. His wife found him on the sidewalk.

Velazquez worked at Tyson Foods and was remembered by friends and family as a happy, perpetually smiling man. The Omaha Police Department opened a homicide investigation and appealed to the public for information. On February 28, 2025, police arrested two teenagers in connection with the killing: 15-year-old Matteo Timothy, identified as the alleged shooter and reported to be on juvenile probation at the time, and 16-year-old Cavon White. Both were charged as adults with first-degree murder and held without bond; one suspect later had his case transferred to juvenile court with reduced charges.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who were in the area that morning who can provide details about the encounter or the individuals involved?
