The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has released new information about the deputy-involved shooting that occurred in northwest Omaha on Saturday morning. The man injured in the shooting has been identified as Daveyon T. Sherman, a 27-year-old from Omaha. Sherman is currently in serious but stable condition at a local hospital and is expected to undergo additional surgery in the coming week. According to the Sheriff's Office, Sherman has multiple active warrants for his arrest, but they are all unrelated to Saturday's incident.
Authorities are asking anyone who may have been in the 108th and Maple area at the time of the shooting or has any information about the incident to come forward and contact the Douglas County Sheriff's Office tip line at 402-444-6000.
The deputy involved in the shooting, whose identity has not been released, will be interviewed by investigators on Monday. The deputy, who has served with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office for nearly five years, is currently on paid administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation. Once the investigation is completed, the case will be handed over to the Douglas County Attorney's Office for a final determination on whether any charges will be filed.
The Sheriff's Office is working in collaboration with the Omaha Police and Nebraska State Patrol to analyze physical evidence, witness accounts, and audio and video recordings related to the incident.
