LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A 42-year-old Lincoln man died when someone walked onto his boat at Branched Oak Lake and shot him, prompting four other people to dive in to the water to escape, authorities said.
Benjamin Case died in an apparently targeted shooting Tuesday night, Lancaster County Sheriff Terry Wagner said. The four other people on the boat were not injured, he said.
Case and his friends were inside the boat’s cabin when the man walked onto the boat's deck. Wagner said. Case opened the cabin door and was immediately shot twice with a handgun.
The suspect — who did not fire toward the others — left the lake area in a vehicle, the Lincoln Journal Star reported.
Wagner said it did not appear the suspect took anything from the boat or the victim’s vehicle, which was parked at the lake.
