John Miles was 41 when he was found shot dead inside an apartment in northwest Omaha, Nebraska, on the afternoon of June 12, 2020. Omaha Police responded to a report of a shooting near 79th and Blondo Streets and discovered his body inside one of the units.

Investigators identified 31-year-old Nicholas Hirsch as the primary suspect and sought him on a felony warrant for first-degree murder. Authorities believed Hirsch was driving a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis and may have been accompanied by an unidentified woman; a $5,000 reward was offered for information leading to his arrest.

Hirsch was later located in Lawrence, Kansas, and was killed in a gun battle with law enforcement during the effort to capture him. Reports also linked Hirsch to a second homicide, leaving questions about motive and the circumstances that led to Miles’ death.

If anyone has information about Miles, the events at the Omaha apartment, or the people seen in the area that day, please come forward.
