A white bar owner charged in the shooting of a Black man during a night of civil unrest in Omaha, Nebraska, has taken his own life in Oregon
Lawyers for Jacob Gardner, 38, had expected him to return to Omaha after a grand jury returned a four-count indictment on Sept. 15. The development was unexpected after prosecutors initially decided against bringing charges, Stu Dornan, one of Gardner’s attorneys, said on Sunday.
Police in Hillsboro, Oregon, a suburb just west of Portland, confirmed in a statement that Gardner’s body was found on Sunday outside a medical clinic, but did not immediately classify it as a suicide. Grainy video taken outside Gardner’s bar shows two men in an altercation during sometimes violent protests on the night of May 30 that swept through Omaha and other U.S. cities following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
