Omaha Police and the Nebraska State Patrol are investigating the death of a man who took his own life while police were present at a residence near Carter Lake.

Omaha Police officers were called to an address near 16th Street and Grand Avenue to check on the well being of a 29-year-old man. The call said the man had locked himself in a detached garage and was threatening to commit suicide.

The officers arrived and secured the area. As they were preparing to make contact with the man, they heard a gunshot from the garage. Officers tried to get a response from the man and eventually forced entry into the garage to find the man deceased from a gunshot wound.

OPD said officers and witnesses stated they did not believe the man knew police were outside when the incident occurred.

No officer discharged their weapon at the scene.

The Omaha Police Officer-Involved Investigations Team and NSP are investigating the incident.

The Douglas County Attorney will review the case and decide if it should be sent to a Grand Jury as an in-custody death.
