Shauna Shook, a 39-year-old White female, was found dead inside her north Omaha apartment on the evening of Thursday, October 16, 2025. Police were called to the residence near 65th and Boyd Streets around 6:30 p.m., where investigators said the circumstances of her death appeared suspicious. Shook s daughter discovered her and alerted authorities, and Omaha police quickly identified a person of interest as Shook s boyfriend, 39-year-old Benjamin Myers.
As patrol officers and detectives secured the apartment scene, the department s ABLE-1 helicopter located a vehicle tied to the investigation in the parking lot of a Walmart near Cornhusker Road and Highway 75 in Bellevue. When officers converged there, they found Myers in the driver s seat with a self-inflicted gunshot wound; he was transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and later pronounced dead. With Myers death, Omaha police stated they were not seeking additional persons of interest and were treating the case as an apparent murder-suicide spanning the two locations.
Public notices and memorial postings later confirmed Shook s identity, age, and date of death, with services arranged through a local funeral home in Omaha. Community listings also recorded her as lost to gun violence on October 16, 2025. No arrests were made in connection with Shook s killing, and the man identified by police as the sole suspect died from his self-inflicted wound.
