Alan D. Critser, 33, was found dead in an Omaha home on December 29, 2023. The Omaha Police Department found that he had sustained fatal injuries from a shotgun blast to the head. Critser was originally from Brown County, Indiana; his death was reported as a homicide.

Authorities arrested 31-year-old Alyssa K. Roman, identified as Critser’s girlfriend, and charged her with second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony. Early accounts mentioned a possible home invasion, but investigators later characterized the incident as involving a domestic situation between the two.

The sudden, violent nature of the death has left family and friends reeling. If anyone knew Alan, his movements that day, or has information about what happened in that Omaha home, please come forward to investigators.
