OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say they are investigating the death of a woman in south Omaha as a homicide and have arrested an 18-year-old man in the case.
Police say officers were called to an area along South 20th Street just before 8 a.m. Sunday for a death investigation and found the body of 61-year-old Jolene Harshbarger.
Police determined the circumstances surrounding Harshbarger's death to be suspicion, but have not said how she died. Police announced midday Monday that they arrested 18-year-old Daniel Dejaynes-Beaman on suspicion of first-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
Police declined to say what relationship, if any, Dejaynes-Beaman had to Harshbarger.
