On Saturday, September 14, Flores was fatally wounded by gunfire in an incident that has left lingering questions. The shooting occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex located in the 2500 block of an undisclosed street.
At approximately 10:45 p.m., Bellevue police were dispatched to the scene following reports of a shooting.
Upon their arrival, they discovered Flores with a gunshot wound to his upper body. He was immediately transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for emergency treatment. Despite the efforts of medical personnel, Rodolfo Flores succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
