Lincoln Police said they are investigating the death of a 26-year-old Bellevue man to see if it is connected to the murder of a 34-year-old woman Wednesday morning.

Martae Green, 26, was dropped off at Bryan West hospital around the time of the shooting of Audrea Craig, 34, on Wednesday.

LPD said at 3:52 a.m., individuals assisted Green inside the emergency room, but left before officers arrived. The medical staff attempted life-saving measures, but he passed away at 4:37 a.m.

Police were originally told Green suffered a gunshot wound, but medical experts are still determining what injuries he suffered.

Both vehicles seen at the hospital dropping Green off have been recovered by police, LPD said.

Craig was shot in the chest inside of a home near 26th and South Streets around 3:45 a.m. on Wednesday.

LPD said due to the close proximity of time and the nature of the injuries, investigators are working to see if the two situations are related.

According to police, the suspect or suspects entered the home where Craig was living, and then shot her and fled.

Lincoln Police said eight people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, six of whom were children. A 30-year-old man was also at the house.

LPD said the children ranged in age from 6-16, and Craig was the mother of five of the children.

"This is going to take time. But what we really need is in addition to the thoughts and prayers for members of this family and friends of the deceased, is if you know something about the events, preceding this incident, please call us at 402-441-6000 or 402-475-3600," said Lincoln Police Chief Jeff Bliemeister.

LPD said the investigation is underway to find out what took place before the shooting took place and to determine if it was a targeted act.

There have been no arrests or persons of interest named in the investigation.
