Corey Shannon Hudson, 44, was found with a fatal gunshot wound in an alley near 18th and U Streets in South Omaha around 1:45 p.m. on March 10, 2015. His mother, Janet Hudson, said she had spoken with him earlier that day about a grocery trip and was puzzled he would be in that alley. Family remembered him as someone who loved the Nebraska Huskers, animals, and music.

In the months before his death Hudson had several legal problems, including arrests for misdemeanor shoplifting and assault and battery. Protection orders had been filed against him by his mother and a former girlfriend, alleging physical assault and threats. The Omaha Police Department arrested 28-year-old Gino Inserra in connection with the shooting, but a judge later released Inserra on his own recognizance and the charges were dismissed. Police stated they were still seeking the person who fired the fatal shot.

The investigation is open but has gone cold and no one has been convicted for Hudson’s murder. If anyone has information about what happened that afternoon in the South Omaha alley, please come forward.
