OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An arrest affidavit for a man charged in an Omaha double homicide says the shooter fired shots through a closet door to kill one victim and wound another.

Investigators believe 53-year-old Michael Nolt, 26-year-old Malquan King and 23-year-old Arelius Hassell were in the home of 25-year-old Tommynique Valentine, who was King’s girlfriend, early Saturday when the shooting occurred.

Valentine reported hearing Nolt and Hassell arguing, then gunshots. She and King hid in a closet before the gunman fired several shots through the closet door, hitting King several times.

Valentine says the gunman then shouted, “Is everyone OK?” before firing several more shots — hitting Valentine in the leg — then fleeing.

King and Hassell died. Nolt is awaiting extradition to Omaha from Mesa, Arizona.
