On the evening of June 3, 2021, a shooting in north Omaha left 17-year-old JiaQuan Williams dead. Police found Williams and another 17-year-old, Javondreï McIntosh, with gunshot wounds after a call around 8 p.m. Both were taken to Nebraska Medical Center; Williams died shortly after arrival and McIntosh died two days later. Williams had just completed his junior year at Benson High School.

The subsequent investigation led authorities to the Kansas City, Missouri area, where two male teenagers, 16 and 17, were arrested without incident and held for extradition to Nebraska. The 16-year-old was charged with six felonies including first-degree murder; the 17-year-old was charged with two counts of being an accessory to a felony.

Anyone with information about the shooting or who knew JiaQuan is asked to come forward.
