(AP) — Police have arrested a 21-year-old in connection to a weekend shooting in Lincoln that left one man dead and another man injured.

Officers arrested Michael Arellano Jr. on Saturday, but they have not indicated whether they suspect he is the shooter. The shooting was reported around 1:30 a.m. Saturday at a house in northwest Lincoln.

Rescue workers took 38-year-old Shane Christopher Newman to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Another man, age 22, arrived at the hospital shortly after 2 a.m. with non-life-threatening gunshot injuries. Police have not identified that man.

A Lancaster County jail official says Arellano was being held as a suspect in aiding and abetting a felony.
