How they died
Deadly force
Police said uniformed officers Jarvis Duncan and Randy Szemplenski were working off duty at a north Omaha BP gas station, where 50-60 people gathered in the parking after an argument broke out between Leroy Goodwin and another man at about 2:30 a.m. The officers reportedly used mace to break up the crowd. Goodwin allegedly pulled a gun and fired at the other man, prompting Duncan to shoot Goodwin. Goodwin died at a hospital.
