A man and a teenage boy were injured by gunfire early Sunday in South Omaha.
An Omaha police spokesman said James Fuertes, 17, and Alexis Mendoza-Urzua, 21, sustained gunshot injuries in the area of 27th and F Streets. Officers were called to the area about 1 a.m. for a report of shots fired.
Omaha Fire Department medics transported Fuertes and Mendoza-Urzua to the Nebraska Medical Center with injuries that were not considered life-threatening. Police are investigating what led to the shootings, the spokesman said.
Douglas County Court records show that an arrest warrant had been issued for Mendoza-Urzua on Thursday. He is accused in the warrant of pointing a gun at Furertes’ 18-year-old sister, his former girlfriend.
