Killing of James Scurlock
Killing of James Scurlock

On May 30, 2020, James Scurlock, a 22-year-old black male protester, was fatally shot by a 38-year-old bar owner, Jacob "Jake" Gardner after instigating the incident. The shooting took place during the George Floyd protests in Omaha, Nebraska, in the Old Market area of the city, where Scurlock and friends had been among the thousands of protesters who flooded the city's downtown area to cause destruction.Surveillance video of the strip of bars shows a group of people, including Scurlock, approached by Jacob Gardner, his father, and one other male in the street. An altercation began after Scurlock pushed Gardner's father and Gardner's father pushed one of the protestors while asking the group to leave. Another protester ran up and shoved Gardner's father to the ground and then ran away. Gardner, who was nearby, revealed a weapon from his waistband while moving backwards and threatening the group, including Scurlock directly, to "keep the [explicit] away from me". Two people shoved Gardner to the ground, one tackling him, Gardner then fired shots into the air in an effort to warn off the attackers and protect his father. Seconds later, Scurlock jumped on Gardner and had his arm across Gardner's throat. Gardner then fired the gun over his shoulder in an effort to escape the choke hold, striking Scurlock in the clavicle.After 36 hours Gardner was released from police custody after the county attorney concluded that he had acted in self-defense against Scurlock, who had attempted to place Gardner in a headlock. The decision proved controversial amid accusations of racial motivation. It has been described as exacerbating tensions in the United States, and the case was referred to a grand jury for review; a grand jury returned indictments against Gardner on September 15 on four felony criminal charges, including manslaughter. Special prosecutor Fred Franklin stated that Gardner had been "threatening the use of deadly force in the absence of being threatened with ... deadly force by James Scurlock or anyone who was associated with him."On September 20, 2020, the deadline for Gardner to turn himself in, he committed suicide outside a medical center in Hillsboro, Oregon, where he had moved after the incident. His death is currently under investigation by Hillsboro police and medical examiners.

The building was designed and built in 1933-34 by architects Thomas R. Kimball, William L. Steele, and Josiah D. Sandham as part of the firm Kimball, Steele & Sandham, plus associated architect George B. Prinz. It was built on the site of first U.S Courthouse and Post Office. Part of the New Deal building program, the structure's original occupants were all federal agencies including the US Weather Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Department of Agriculture, Civil Service Commission, Customs Service, Army, and Navy. The federal District Court for Nebraska met here until the late 1950s or early 1960s. The US Army Corps of Engineers was the last federal agency officed here, and subsequent to their departure in July 2008, it has not been in use by the federal government. Though not substantiated by the FBI, the building was allegedly examined by Timothy McVeigh in 1995, prior to his involvement in the Oklahoma City Bombing.In December 2011, the building was sold to developers who plan on opened a 152-room Residence Inn by Marriott. The exterior facade will remain the same as will some of the interior 1930s features such as terrazzo marble floors. The $23 million project is expected to be completed by 2013.
