Will Burt Neeman, a 45-year-old male from Nebraska City, Nebraska, died on the night of June 10, 2026, after police and fire-rescue crews were sent to the area of the 1100 block of North 4th Street for a reported shooting involving two people. Officers found Neeman at the scene with an apparent gunshot wound to the chest, and he was pronounced dead there. The call initially came in around 10:31 p.m.
as an accidental shooting, turning what began as an emergency response in a residential neighborhood into a fatal investigation.
A second man, described by police as 28 years old, was also injured in the incident. He reportedly suffered a gunshot wound to the head, was taken first to CHI Health St. Mary's by Nebraska City EMS, and was then flown to a trauma center in Omaha. Early reporting said the first shooting was followed by a second shot after the younger man went to the back of the residence. Police did not publicly identify the 28-year-old man in the available reports, and they did not immediately describe him as a suspect.
No arrests, suspect names, criminal charges, trial proceedings, or convictions have been reported in the available online sources. Nebraska City police said the events were under investigation, leaving the public account focused on the two gunshot victims, the location on North 4th Street, and the unanswered question of how an incident first dispatched as accidental ended with Neeman dead and another man critically wounded.
Outside of the police account, Neeman's obituary described him as someone deeply tied to Nebraska City, where he was born, grew up, attended school, and built lifelong friendships. He was remembered as a father whose daughter Rylin was the center of his life, and as a person who valued relationships, music, creativity, fishing, motorcycles, baseball, wrestling, and swimming. He had worked at Heart Ministry Center in Omaha and previously at Mission Field Treatment Center in Nebraska City, with his memorial describing helping people as part of who he was.
