A Lincoln man who was shot early Sunday has been arrested and jailed on suspicion of robbery, Lincoln police said Thursday.

Investigators know little more about the incident because Samson Wilcinot, 30, has not cooperated with police in the days since the shooting, Capt. Don Scheinost said.

Investigators believe Wilcinot approached a 16-year-old sitting in a car near 13th and Otoe streets around 2 a.m. Sunday and demanded his keys, punched him and forced his way into the car, Capt. Michon Morrow said.

The 16-year-old left the area, but a friend of the 16-year-old came out of a nearby house with a gun, fired a warning shot and demanded that the suspect leave, police said.

Wilcinot then got out of the car and was shot multiple times, Morrow said. Scheinost said no other arrests have been made in the incident.

Wilcinot was also lodged on a Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office warrant alleging that he obstructed a police officer and resisted arrest.

He also was arrested July 14 by the Nebraska State Patrol after state troopers say he ran around Interstate 80 naked, dented a vehicle and broke its windows.
