Anthony Bonner, 39, a Black male, was found shot to death in a car on the night of April 19, 2020, in North Omaha. Around 10 p.m., a ShotSpotter activation drew officers to the area of 24th 25th and Pinkney Streets, where they discovered Bonner inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene by responding medics, and investigators immediately opened a homicide case.
News accounts from that night did not identify a suspect or describe an arrest, and police asked the public for tips to help move the case forward. Subsequent summaries and community listings have continued to note Bonner s death by gun violence at that intersection and date, reflecting an investigation that, in the reporting reviewed, did not include an announced arrest or named suspect. A public visitation was later held for Anthony L. Bonner Sr., confirming his identity and the date of his passing.
