Suspect arrested in fatal shooting outside Omaha store

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A suspect has been arrested in the slaying of a man outside an Omaha convenience store.

Omaha police say 29-year-old Forrest Cox III was arrested Thursday. Court records say he’s charged with first-degree murder and two weapons counts. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him. He’s being held in Douglas County Jail.

Cox is accused of shooting 25-year-old Laron Rogers on March 6 last year. Police say Rogers died 16 days later.
