Quincy Harden age 36, male, Black, was found shot to death just before dawn on Sunday, September 14, 2014, in the courtyard behind the Spencer Apartments near North 28th Avenue and Spencer Street in Omaha. Officers responding around 3 a.m. located him at the scene; a woman there told reporters the victim was her 36-year-old son. Neighbors described hearing a rapid volley at least 20 gunshots ripping through the quiet before police arrived.
The following day, friends and community members organized a prayer walk at the apartment complex to grieve and to ask for answers.
Detectives opened a homicide investigation and urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers, but early reports offered no description of a shooter. Local coverage in the immediate aftermath stated that no arrests had been announced, and later listings that memorialize people lost to gun violence continue to record Harden s death on September 14, 2014, in Omaha. As of those accounts, authorities had not publicly identified a suspect or announced charges connected to the killing.
