Gary Leon Marshall Jr., 17, a senior at Omaha Burke High School, was found with a gunshot wound to the head in the front seat of a car just before 2 a.m. on September 20, 2019. Officers were dispatched around 1:55 a.m.; he was rushed to Nebraska Medical Center and pronounced dead. The scene was near 43rd Avenue and Laurel Avenue in northeast Omaha.

Police said three teens — Gary and two 14-year-olds, a boy and a girl — were handling a gun in the vehicle when it discharged. In the hours after the shooting a 14-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of discharging a firearm in a vehicle; authorities did not release his name because of his age. Early statements suggested the shooting resulted from mishandling rather than a planned attack.

Family and friends marked his passing in the days after, and public notices record September 20, 2019, as the date of death. Does anyone have information about what happened inside that car that night?
