Police identify man shot and killed by his brother at Lincoln Casey’s

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Police have identified the man who was fatally shot by his brother Thursday at a gas station near downtown Lincoln.

The shooting happened around 11 a.m. at Casey’s near 13th and E streets.

Capt. Ben Miller said 23-year-old Emanuel Greenwalt-Claypool, a delivery driver, was dropping off products as his brother, 24-year-old Jarell Wheeler, was leaving the store.

Wheeler went back inside, left and then came back again and started “running toward Claypool” with his arm raised, police said.

At the same time, Claypool pulled out a gun from the front of his waistband and shot Wheeler “multiple times,” according to Miller.

When officers arrived, they found Wheeler suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds.

An innocent bystander, a 38-year-old man from Martell, was shot twice while standing next to a cooler.  He had injuries that were not life-threatening.

Both men were taken to a hospital, where Wheeler later died.  The Martell man has since been released from the hospital.

Claypool was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, use of a firearm to commit a felony and second-degree assault.

Following the shooting, police said Claypool stayed at the scene, surrendered his firearm and cooperated with the investigation.
