OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say they’ve made an arrest in the case of a woman found fatally shot in an Omaha neighborhood west of Fontenelle Park.

Authorities say 22-year-old Michael E. Goynes was taken into custody around 12:20 p.m. Saturday. Goynes was booked at the Douglas County jail on a first-degree murder charge for the death of 45-year-old Barbara Williams.

Officers who responded to an initial report of shots fired Monday afternoon found the woman outside an apartment in the neighborhood. Another shooting was reported just east of the park around the same time. Officers found a wounded man there who soon was taken to a hospital. He was identified as 31-year-old Johnny Marion.

Police say they’re still investigating the case and are encouraging anyone with information to call the department’s homicide unit.
