On the morning of October 18, 2014, gunfire struck a South Omaha home near 24th and Q streets. Jose Fabila, 23, was inside with friends when bullets came through a kitchen window; one of the rounds fatally wounded him. He was a father and had another child on the way. Friends at the gathering described the shock and horror as the shots rang out.

The Omaha Police Department investigated and within a week had arrested four people in connection with the shooting. On October 24, 2014, authorities announced charges: Kevin Mejia was charged with murder; Jessica Gusman and Matteo Kundra were charged as accessories after the fact; and James Vega was charged in connection with shooting at an occupied dwelling.

Anyone who was in that neighborhood on October 18, 2014, or who has information about the shooting or the events leading up to it is asked to come forward.
