LINCOLN—(KFOR July 7)—Lincoln Police arrested two men Tuesday evening in connection to a June 12 shooting at a party near 60th and Adams.  The victim died three days later.

Acting Chief Brian Jackson on Wednesday morning said 26-year-old Shantrel Hickey was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony and felon in possession of a firearm.  His 24-year-old brother, Daqwan Hickey, was also arrested for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
