OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Police have released new information about the shooting death of a teenager at an Omaha motel over the weekend.
Omaha police arrested Mason Beaverson, 20, on suspicion of manslaughter and other counts shortly after the shooting death Friday night of 17-year-old Evan Latto.
Latto was declared dead in a room at a Motel 6, where officers found him after they were called for a shooting. Witnesses told investigators that Beaverson pulled a gun from his waistband and shot Latto, police said. The witnesses said Beaverson had pointed the gun at another person earlier in the evening and was told to stop.
Police said Beaverson told officers he shot Latto and that the gun he used was stolen. Beaverson is being held without bail.
