BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) - An 18-year-old has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for the shooting death of a man at a Sarpy County apartment complex.

Court records say Dakota Pirruccello also pleaded guilty Wednesday to using a firearm to kill 23-year-old Brian Faeller, who also was known as Brian Faeller-Crom.

Prosecutors lowered a first-degree murder charge in return for Pirruccello’s pleas. Sentencing is set for Jan. 7.



Authorities say the Omaha man and at least two other people were involved in trying to rob Faeller on Jan. 15 at his southern Bellevue apartment when the violence broke out.
