Omaha Police believe they have solved a 19 year old murder case. On Tuesday police arrested 51 year old Christopher Martin and booked him on first-degree murder charges.
He’s accused in the killing of killing Todd Schumacher, who was shot to death on December 5, 2000.
Police were called to a neighborhood near 29th and Q Street after two people discovered Schumacher’s body. The case quickly went cold but after a plea from Schumacher’s daughter OPD started investigating again.
That fresh look led to a warrant being issued and the Metro Fugitive Task Force arrested Martin on Tuesday afternoon.
"After all these years, my dad will finally be able to rest in peace and our family will be able to rest a little better at night knowing that the person who did this is finally getting what he deserves," Alyssa Schumacher said in a statement.
