On the evening of December 12, 2025, a shooting in Omaha’s Benson neighborhood left 18-year-old Darren Greer dead. Officers were called to North 61st Street and Bedford Avenue around 9:04 p.m. after reports of gunfire. First responders found Greer inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Two other people at the scene were also shot and transported in critical condition.

Police say three male subjects approached the vehicle and that two of them produced firearms and fired into the car, striking the occupants. Greer had graduated high school in May 2025. Multiple arrests followed: a 14-year-old male was charged with murder and held without bond, and 19-year-old Cashmere Burus and 18-year-old Barry Burus were each charged in connection with the killing. Initial court hearings have begun with prosecutors describing the shooting as coordinated.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Darren, please share tips with Omaha police.
