Third person charged in Kearney murder
A third person now faces charges connected to a murder last month in Kearney.
KEARNEY, Neb. -- A third person now faces charges connected to a murder last month in Kearney.
Prosecutors charged 29-year-old Joseph Garcia with felony robbery in connection with the case, which appears to be connected to a drug deal that went bad.
31-year-old Jared Shinpaugh of Lexington died of gunshot wounds suffered in the incident. Garcia was also shot and wounded, but his injuries were treated at Good Samaritan Hospital and he was later released.
The formal charges against Garcia indicate that he tried to rob Joshua Morris and Mariah Chamberlin that night.
For their part, Chamberlin and Morris both face weapons and drug charges connected with the murder.
But so far no-one has been arrested for or charged with murder in Shinpaugh's death.
