LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 22-year-old has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a gun charge for shooting up a Lincoln home last November, killing a Plattsmouth man and leaving a Bellevue man injured.
Brandon Benson said in Lancaster County Court on Wednesday that he intended to scare the people inside the home.
Authorities say Benson fatally shot 19-year-old Richard “Ricky” Randall Jr. in connection with a drug deal Nov. 29, 2015. Eighteen-year-old Angok Wal was wounded.
Benson’s sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 30. He faces a minimum of 25 years in prison and a maximum of life in prison.
Two other men entered guilty pleas Wednesday in the incident.
Twenty-one-year-old Joseph L. Bratt pleaded no contest to attempted robbery.
Twenty-two-year-old Joshua Lock pleaded no contest to being an accessory for providing the long gun used.
