If you come across flooded roadways, don’t attempt to drive through. Even a few inches of water can hide debris or damage to the road.

#LincolnNews - Lincoln Police released new information regarding Tuesday evening’s shooting that left a 19-year-old Lincoln woman dead. Police identified 37-year-old Tyler Benzel as the suspect. Lancaster County Jail records list his charge as first-degree murder. The victim and others were involved in a verbal and physical altercation with Benzel’s wife, which authorities believe was initiated by his wife. Benzel left his home, walked toward the group, told them to leave and made verbal threats before raising a gun and firing. The confrontation and shooting happened away from Benzel’s property. Officers arrived within moments and found the woman with a single gunshot wound. They performed life-saving measures before she was taken to a hospital, where she died. Officers recovered a 9mm handgun at the scene, but forensic testing is needed to determine whether it was the gun used in the shooting. They are not aware of any other weapons being involved. Benzel was cooperative when officers arrived, and authorities said he and his wife did not know the group before the altercation. Benzel’s wife has not been arrested or charged. The victim’s name has not been released, and the investigation remains ongoing.
