LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A suspect’s been arrested in the fatal shooting of a man on a downtown Lincoln street.
Lancaster County Court records say Marcus Winston, 34, is charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm to commit a felony. The records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him. Winston was arrested Wednesday and remains in custody.
Another man also was arrested as an accessory. The records don’t show that he’s been formally charged.
The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. Sunday as downtown bars were preparing to close. Police said a disturbance preceded the shooting.
Officers handling another incident nearby heard the shots and soon found a man later identified as 32-year-old Timothy Montgomery Jr. suffering from gunshot wounds. He died at a Lincoln hospital, police said.
