LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police in Lincoln are releasing few details of their investigation into the shooting death of a 20-year-old man.

Lincoln Police Capt. David Beggs says Erick P. Musito of Lincoln was found around 2:45 a.m. Sunday when a disturbance was reported near 18th and G streets, a few blocks south of downtown.

Musito was taken to a Lincoln hospital where he died.

Beggs says investigators have identified suspects in the shooting, but hadn’t made any arrests as of Sunday afternoon.

Police said little about the shooting on Sunday, but court records show that Musito had ties to gang activity.

Musito’s court record includes several instances of underage alcohol use, and he was caught carrying a concealed weapon in September.
