LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Police on Monday shared the identity of the victim in a murder-suicide at a home near south Lincoln last week.

When officers entered a home near 14th and Sumner streets on a welfare check on Friday, they found the bodies of Sterling Jordan and Jennifer McCarther, both 51.


Police Chief Michon Morrow said McCarther had multiple gunshot wounds, and Jordan had a gunshot wound to his head.

The case is being investigated as a murder-suicide.  Morrow said there is believed to be no public safety threat.

“It is heartbreaking, and at the same time, it is infuriating to know that her life was stolen by a senseless act of violence,” Morrow said.

An investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information is asked to call police at 402-441-6000 or Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600.
