(AP) — A 22-year-old man has been charged with murder and other charges in the slaying of a 16-year-old Omaha girl and wounding of her cousin.

Police say Tracy Parnell already was in custody awaiting trial on charges related to an incident that occurred before the shooting on Oct. 30. Parnell is accused of shooting Eriana Carr to death and shooting Nakia Johnson 11 times. Johnson, who was 20 at the time, survived her wounds.

Police say that on Oct. 28, Parnell threatened Johnson at gunpoint because she had invited a rival gang member to the apartment she shared with Parnell’s girlfriend.

Parnell remained in custody on Tuesday. His lawyer didn’t immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
