Suspect arrested in 2008 Omaha barbershop slaying

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities say they’ve arrested a suspect in the 2008 fatal shooting of a man at a north Omaha barbershop.

The Omaha Police Department cold case squad arrested 31-year-old Richodd Mackins on a warrant charging him with first-degree murder. He was booked Monday into Douglas County Jail. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him.

Police say 23-year-old Marcus Johnson was shot the morning of Sept. 25, 2008. He left the barbershop and flagged down some help, but he died later at a hospital.
