On the evening of Tuesday, January 21, 2025, a verbal dispute in the Cypress Lane area of Lexington, Nebraska, escalated into a fatal shooting that left 40-year-old Hispanic male Maykel Farinas Carballo dead. Officers arrived around 10:45 p.m. and found a silver two-door vehicle stalled in a front yard; Farinas Carballo was discovered deceased inside the car. The windshield and front of the vehicle had numerous bullet holes.

Witnesses reported that Farinas Carballo had gone to the suspect’s residence and had been in a disagreement with the suspect before gunfire. A suspect was allegedly seen holding a handgun near where Farinas Carballo was located. Authorities arrested 33-year-old Aristh D. Rodriguez Linares of Lexington; an affidavit says Rodriguez-Linares told a witness to call police, that he would place the handgun on the couch, and that he would wait for law enforcement. He was booked into the Dawson County Jail and charged with first-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm into a vehicle or person, and is being held without bail. The case is in Dawson County District Court with a status hearing continued at the defendant’s request.

Does anyone have information about Farinas Carballo’s movements that night or witnesses who heard the disturbance on Cypress Lane?
