Man already jailed arrested in shooting death of trucker

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police have announced the arrest of a man already behind bars in the shooting death last year of a truck driver.

Police said Wednesday in a news release that 25-year-old Michael Benson has been booked on a new charge of second-degree murder for his role in the Sept. 18 shooting death of 32-year-old James Womack.

Womack was fatally shot during the day at a busy south-central Omaha intersection.

Police arrested Benson four days later on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony in the shooting.
