Robert L. Hanna, a 51-year-old White male, was working as a clerk at a Kwik Shop in Lincoln, Nebraska, on the night of July 7, 2016. In the early hours of the morning, a man entered the convenience store located at 14th Street and Adams Street. The individual was captured on the store's surveillance video, which showed him loitering in the store for a short period before approaching the counter.
The suspect, whose face was partially obscured, brandished a handgun and demanded money from
Hanna. During the course of the robbery, the assailant fired a single shot, striking Hanna in the chest. The suspect then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. Emergency services were called to the scene, and Hanna was transported to a nearby hospital, where he ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
The Lincoln Police Department launched a homicide investigation into the death of Robert Hanna. They released still images and video footage from the Kwik Shop's security cameras to the public in an effort to identify the person responsible. The suspect was described as a male of unknown race, wearing a distinctive dark-colored hooded sweatshirt with a unique emblem on the front, along with light-colored pants and dark shoes. Despite the release of the surveillance footage and pleas for public assistance, the identity of the shooter remains unknown. No arrests have been made in connection with the murder of Robert L. Hanna, and his case is now considered a cold case. The investigation remains open, and authorities continue to seek information that may lead to the apprehension of the individual responsible for his death.
