On the night of July 15, 2018, gunfire in south Omaha left 23-year-old Hispanic man Franco Gonzalez-Mendez dead and his brother Edgar Gonzalez-Mendez wounded. The brothers were found just north of the Guaca Maya restaurant shortly after 11:30 p.m.; two off-duty officers who were working at the restaurant heard the shots and located the victims. Franco died of his injuries at the scene or shortly thereafter, while Edgar survived with wounds from the attack.

Investigators later arrested 20-year-old Anthony Sanchez in Crete, Nebraska, in connection with the shooting. In January 2019 a judge ordered Sanchez held without bond; he was formally charged with first-degree murder in Franco’s death, plus assault and two weapons counts related to the incident. The motive for the attack has not been released.

Does anyone who was in south Omaha that night or who knew Franco or Edgar have information that could shed light on what happened?
