Two Arrested in Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge Shooting

bob-kerrey-pedestrian-bridge(AP) — Police have arrested two men in a fatal shooting on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge that connects Omaha with Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Police say 23-year-old Terrece Cox has been arrested on suspicion of homicide, assault and weapons counts, and 27-year-old Billy Kellogg has been arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony. Both were arrested Friday.

Twenty-six-year-old Shamari Richards died Wednesday morning from injuries sustained in the shooting. The other victims, 29-year-old Kevin Jenkins and 19-year-old Jeremy Fejeran, suffered non-life threatening injuries.

The shootings were reported a little after 1:15 a.m. Wednesday. The bridge closes at 11 p.m.

Police say there had been a disturbance at the bridge before the shots rang out. Witnesses told officers that they heard gunshots and then saw a crowd of people scatter.
