Joshua Seth Perrin, 34, was shot and killed on the evening of November 11, 2025, near North 56th and Hamilton Street in the Benson neighborhood of Omaha. Officers responding to reports of gunfire around 8:30 p.m. found him on the street with multiple gunshot wounds; CPR was started at the scene and he was taken to Nebraska Medicine but was pronounced dead shortly after. Police described the incident as a homicide and early statements suggested robbery may have been involved.

Perrin was born and raised in Omaha, a Westside High School graduate who worked in the service industry and trades. He was well known locally for building and optimizing PCs, hosting LAN parties, attending Netwar, and for his love of Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, comics, wrestling, concerts and comedy shows. Friends remembered him as loyal and sociable; he lived with three cats, Musashi, Luna, and Mose.

Police publicly identified 22-year-old Ve’Angelo Moore as a suspect wanted on charges including first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, second-degree assault and multiple counts for use of a firearm to commit a felony, and said he should be considered armed and dangerous. At the time of those announcements, investigators were still seeking him and no arrest had been reported. If anyone knew Joshua or has information about the shooting or Moore’s whereabouts, please contact the Omaha Police Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
