LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police have arrested a third person in the shooting death earlier this month of a man whose body was found inside a Lincoln home.
Lincoln police said in a news release Thursday that officers arrested 25-year-old Deontae Rush of Omaha a day earlier in connection with the March 1 death of 33-year-old James Shekie.
Rush had been charged in a warrant issued last week with first-degree murder in Shekie's death.
A brother and sister also face charges in the case. Officials have said 31-year-old Marques Moten of Omaha and his 17-year-old sister are each charged with conspiracy to commit a felony.
Court documents say the three drove to Shekie's trailer home to steal marijuana and that Rush shot Shekie.
