A dispute over a flat tire ended in a fatal shooting on the night of January 27, 2022, in a residential area of Omaha, Nebraska. Daron Bruno Hunter, 46, was shot while getting into his car after an argument; officers found him in the vehicle around 11 p.m. He was taken to a local hospital and later died of his wounds.

Police identified a friend, 37-year-old William Snoddy, as a suspect and arrested him the following day. Snoddy was charged with first-degree murder and three weapons offenses. A detective testified that the men had been trying to fix a flat tire before the argument, and that Snoddy allegedly fired four times at the car, striking Hunter twice in the chest. Snoddy’s public defender said the shooting may have been self-defense, contending Hunter could have veered the car toward Snoddy. A judge ordered Snoddy to stand trial for Hunter’s murder.

If anyone knew Hunter or witnessed the shooting or the events around the flat tire repair, please come forward with information.
