The gunfire erupted while officers were trying to serve a felony arrest warrant
Omaha’s Police Chief said an officer shot while helping serve an arrest warrant has died, as has the suspect.
Police Chief Todd Schmaderer said Wednesday that 29-year-old Officer Kerrie Orozco died at Creighton University Medical Center shortly after the 1 p.m. shooting.
The loss was even more profound after WOWT reported Orozco recently had a baby that was being held in the Intensive Care Unit.
That baby was scheduled to be released on Thursday.
The gunfire erupted while officers were trying to serve a felony arrest warrant on 26-year-old Marcus Wheeler.
The gang member was wanted on warrant accusing him of previous shooting in Omaha.
