Abel Alvarado, a 41-year-old Hispanic/Latino male, spent the evening of March 28, 2008, at a North Omaha truck shop where he rented space and worked as a mechanic. Around 8:30 p.m., police were called to reports of gunfire and directed to a building at 2015 North 11th Street. Inside, they found Alvarado, a father of three who had returned from a trip to Mexico only days earlier, fatally shot by an unknown assailant.
The killing was recorded that night, and the scene reflected a targeted attack carried out while he was at work.
Public records summarize his death as a homicide and, despite scattered mentions over the years in cold-case roundups, provide few additional details about what led up to the shooting. Available listings continue to record the case as unsolved, with no suspect identified and no arrests reported in connection with his killing.
