Remington Elting, 28, was shot and killed in the pre-dawn hours of October 27, 2018, after a confrontation at a home in Hebron, Nebraska. The night before had seen a separate dispute at a party in Davenport where a firearm was reportedly brandished. In the early morning hours, Remington, his brother Reuben Elting, and a man named Chance Gerdes went to Michael Lewis’s residence in Hebron. Lewis called the sheriff’s office at about 3:24 a.m., reporting a break-in and a shooting.

Lewis told investigators that Gerdes had banged on his front door, he heard banging at a side door, and Remington grabbed him by his shirt. Lewis said he pushed Remington away and then shot him during the ensuing altercation. Lewis also said he shot Reuben as he approached; Reuben was taken to a Lincoln hospital in critical condition. The Nebraska Attorney General’s Office later concluded Lewis acted in self-defense and no homicide charge was filed. Lewis was sentenced to probation for crimes connected to the earlier party.

Are there details about the party in Davenport or the moments at the Hebron residence that anyone can clarify?
