North Omaha Shooting Leaves 21-Year-Old Man Critically Injured, Police Hunt Suspect

Q: What secret do the two women at the scene hold regarding the true location of the mysterious Omaha shooting?

The two women may know where the shooting actually happened, but police have not publicly said they do or disclosed any “secret.” What investigators have said is that the 21-year-old victim was found near 35th Street and Ames Avenue around 3 a.m., then was driven to Meredith Circle before officers arrived. Because he was dropped off, officers are unsure whether 35th and Ames was the true shooting scene or simply where the victim was later found. That is why the women matter. Police said they were at the scene and are trying to determine whether they know the victim. If they do, they could help establish whether he was shot somewhere else and then moved. Investigators are also examining a possible link to a shots-fired call reported minutes earlier near 25th Street and Ames Avenue, including the area around the Los Diablos Motorcycle Club. Bullet casings were reportedly found there, and a separate gunshot victim was later reported at the hospital, but authorities have not confirmed that the incidents are connected. So, based on the available reporting, the key unknown the women may hold is whether the victim was shot at another location—possibly near 25th and Ames—and then transported to Meredith Circle or the 35th and Ames area. Police have not confirmed that scenario, and the investigation remains open.

Q: Why was the gunshot victim secretly moved from the scene, and does it connect to the nearby motorcycle club?

There is no confirmed evidence yet that the victim was “secretly” moved for any specific reason, and police have not established a confirmed link to the nearby Los Diablos Motorcycle Club. What is known is that the 21-year-old man was shot sometime around 3 a.m. and then driven to Meredith Circle before officers arrived. Investigators have said they are still trying to determine where the shooting actually happened and why he was relocated. The move could reflect an attempt by companions to get him help or remove him from the immediate scene, but that is only speculation unless police confirm it. The possible motorcycle club connection remains under investigation, not proven. Officers are examining whether this case is tied to a shots-fired call reported minutes earlier near 25th and Ames, an area that includes Los Diablos Motorcycle Club. Separate reporting also described a walk-in gunshot victim from that area who underwent surgery for serious but non-life-threatening injuries, which is one reason investigators are checking for overlap. At this point, the available facts support only this: police believe the locations and timing may be related, but they have announced no suspect, no arrests, and no confirmed narrative explaining the victim’s movement or tying the case directly to the club. Anyone with information is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 402-444-STOP.
