Pamela Ann Nickisch, 71, was found shot and killed inside her Valentine, Nebraska, home at 301 Edna Street on the evening of March 4, 2019. Born January 31, 1948, in Omaha, she had retired to Valentine with her husband Paul Daniel Nickisch, Jr., and was remembered for long service with the Ralston Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary and as a devoted grandmother to nine grandchildren.

Nebraska State Patrol investigators described the death as the result of an escalation of a domestic violence situation. Valentine police responded around 7:00 p.m. that night; Pamela was discovered deceased and her 70-year-old husband, Paul Nickisch, was arrested in connection with the shooting. A juvenile grandson was in the house during the incident. The county attorney was to determine final charges.

If anyone knew Pamela, the family’s life in Ralston or Valentine, or has information about that night, please share what you know.
