John Wesley Gerber was 40 when he was shot while working behind the counter at Howell’s BP gas station, 7166 North 30th Street in Omaha, on Tuesday afternoon, December 8, 2009, around 1 p.m. Officers found him wounded at the scene; he was taken to a hospital and later died of his injuries. Police classified the death as a homicide and later listed the case among Omaha’s cold cases.

The location and timing of the attack—an ordinary workday in daylight at that North 30th Street corner—have been repeatedly noted by family and in community remembrances, which continue to mark December 8 as the date of his death. No arrests have been announced publicly and authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone see activity at or near Howell’s BP around 1 p.m. on December 8, 2009, or have information that could help investigators?
