Jasmine Harris was 20 when she was killed on June 2, 2018, in downtown Omaha after being caught in the crossfire of a gang-related shooting. She and a childhood friend were attending the Taste of Omaha festival near Gene Leahy Mall when an altercation between rival gangs erupted and shots were fired. Harris was struck by a bullet; six other people were also injured.
No arrests have been announced and the shooter remains unidentified. Her family continues to press for justice and says investigation progress has been limited. A great aunt has criticized what she views as scant media attention and has suggested Harris’s race and age affected coverage. The family has urged the community to come forward and help break the code of silence surrounding gang violence.
If anyone attended Taste of Omaha that day or saw the shooting near Gene Leahy Mall, can you share what you remember with Omaha Police?
