Quavyon Tucker, 21, a Black/African American male, was shot on the night of July 15, 2023, near 14th Avenue and Pinkney Street in North Omaha. Officers responded to a 9:32 p.m. shooting call, found him suffering from a gunshot wound, and medics transported him to Nebraska Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Police publicly identified him the following day, noting the initial confusion over his age and correcting it to 21.
Within days, investigators arrested 30-year-old Brandy Williams as an accessory to a felony in connection with the killing. After additional investigation and consultation with the Douglas County Attorney s Office, the charge against Williams was elevated to first-degree murder on November 1, 2023, and she was held without bond. Prosecutors described her as an active participant in a robbery that turned deadly.
The case later shifted in court. On January 7, 2025, Williams pleaded no contest to a reduced charge of accessory to a felony, with sentencing set for the spring. On May 30, 2025, a Douglas County District Court judge sentenced her to 10 to 20 years in prison and credited her with 560 days already served. As of that sentencing, no other suspects had been publicly charged in Tucker s death.
