Marshall Mickey Washington Jr. was fatally shot on the evening of July 7, 2016, near 30th and Read streets in Omaha. Family members remembered him as a father, grandfather, and uncle. Police found the 49-year-old Black man with gunshot wounds and he was taken to Nebraska Medicine, where he later died.

Prosecutors say the shooter had been firing at his own uncle over a drug debt. Police identified Jeffrey Loving as the suspect; Loving was arrested and charged in connection with Washington’s death. A jury convicted Loving of second-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony, and on January 16, 2018, a judge sentenced him to 80 to 90 years for murder plus a consecutive 30 to 40 years for the weapons offense. Loving’s request for a new trial was denied and the case was closed as of January 2018.
