Jennings

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – An inmate in the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services died Saturday at the Reception and Treatment Center.

Estell Jennings, 44, was being treated for a medical condition, but his cause of death has not yet been determined.

Jennings began his sentence in 2014 and was serving a 60- to 80-year sentence for several sex crimes: attempted first-degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of first degree sexual assault and two counts of incest.

Whenever an inmate dies, a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
