A frantic 911 call on the evening of June 22, 2026, marked the beginning of the end for 34-year-old Coral Eaton. From her home on Grissom Street in Sarpy County, Nebraska, she reported to the dispatcher that her husband, 35-year-old Cameron Skayman, was armed and firing a weapon inside their residence. The line remained open, but dispatchers soon lost contact with Eaton. The call prompted an immediate response from both the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office and the Papillion Police Department.
Upon their arrival, the tense situation escalated when another gunshot was heard from within the house.
Law enforcement established a perimeter and the Sarpy County SWAT team was called to the scene. After a standoff, Cameron Skayman emerged from the home and was taken into custody. He had sustained a critical but stable gunshot wound to his abdomen. Once the scene was secured, deputies entered the residence to a tragic discovery. Coral Eaton was found deceased inside, a victim of the domestic shooting she had tried to report. Miraculously, a juvenile child was also found in the home, physically unharmed, and was promptly taken to the safety of Project Harmony.
Following his release from the hospital, Cameron Skayman was booked into the Sarpy County jail. He now faces a litany of serious charges, including murder, first-degree assault, terroristic threats, intentional child abuse, and the use of a firearm to commit a felony. The investigation into the circumstances that led to Coral Eaton's violent death is ongoing. The case represents a devastating instance of domestic violence that ended a young woman's life and irrevocably altered the life of a child. The legal proceedings against Skayman will determine the final chapter in this tragic story.
