The Omaha Police Department has arrested a female in connection to an early Sunday morning homicide that occurred near 10th and Capitol Avenue.

Here’s what we know from police:

According to OPD, shortly after 1 a.m., officers responded to a 911 call of a shooting near 10th Street and Capitol Avenue. A male, later identified as Gom Gout, 23, was found suffering from a gunshot wound, said police.
