BELLEVUE, NE – A 23-year-old man has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder following a fatal shooting late Thursday night at a Bellevue apartment complex, authorities confirmed.
According to the Bellevue Police Department (BPD), officers responded to reports of a shooting at approximately 10:30 p.m. at an apartment complex near 13th Street and Galvin Road, just west of Bellevue East High School.
