Do you know who murdered Waw Gach? Waw Gach, an 18-year-old former athlete from Denison-Schleswig High School, was shot and killed on April 7, 2020, during a large gathering at Benson Park in Omaha, Nebraska. Despite local restrictions on gatherings due to the pandemic, the event attracted about 100 people. Around 9:30 p.m., gunfire erupted, injuring three individuals. Gach, who was known for his athletic abilities in football and track, succumbed to his injuries after being taken to the hospital.
Two others, a 19-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl, sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The incident took place during a fight that reportedly broke out following a car crash, which escalated into a shooting. Despite efforts from law enforcement, the case remains unsolved, with no arrests made. The community, including Gach's family, who had immigrated from Sudan, continues to seek justice for his untimely death. The police have appealed for any information that could help solve the case.
