JaSean Coleman, a 24-year-old man from Omaha, was shot and killed inside a Jeep near 12th and Howard Streets in the Old Market district on March 4, 2024. Officers responding to a 911 report about a nature unknown incident found Coleman with a gunshot wound around 12:30 a.m.; he was taken to Nebraska Medical Center and later pronounced dead. Investigators recovered a bullet casing and a firearm with an extended magazine inside the vehicle.

Three people at the scene were taken to police headquarters for questioning.
