Ashtin Fletcher, 19, male, was found fatally shot in north Omaha in the early morning hours of June 7, 2025. Officers were called to the area around North 62nd Street near Fowler Avenue and Camden Street, where they located him with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A second victim, a 20-year-old man, was also hit by gunfire and taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Family later shared that Ashtin had recently graduated from Bellevue East High School and had moved to Lincoln, returning to Omaha that weekend for work.
In the days that followed, Omaha police identified Fletcher publicly and treated the case as a homicide. Memorial notices and community records listed his death as a loss to gun violence on June 7 in Omaha.
On June 23, authorities announced arrests in the case: two men and a teenage boy were taken into custody in connection with the shooting that killed Fletcher and injured the other victim. Subsequent court filings charged 18-year-old Tamarri Neal and 16-year-old Jcauri Sneed as the primary defendants, each facing counts of first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of use of a firearm to commit a felony. Judges later ordered both held without bond. Reporting indicates two defendants are set to stand trial, while coverage of the third arrest did not specify comparable adult felony charges at that time.
The investigation's early accounts from family suggested Fletcher may have been caught in crossfire unrelated to him, a detail that underscored how abruptly the weekend trip turned into tragedy. As the criminal proceedings move forward, the charges against Neal and Sneed mark the clearest picture to date of who prosecutors believe is responsible for the killing near 62nd and Camden.
