Officer-Involved Shooting Leads To Omaha Police Headquarters Protest

Tensions run high outside downtown Omaha Central Police Headquarters at 15th and Howard Streets Friday night during a demonstration over an officer-involved fatal shooting in South Omaha earlier this week.

Some arrests were made;

Police say 35-year old Kenneth Jones died Thursday night after being shot during a struggle with officers during a traffic stop.

One theme during the protest was a call for the body camera footage from the shooting to be quickly made public.

The Nebraska State Patrol is involved in the investigation of the death, and under state law, there will be a grand jury investigation.
