How they died
Deadly force
Police responded to a domestic disturbance at the Omaha Housing Authority's Pine Towers Apartments at 8:22 p.m., after a caller reported her fiance, Abraham A. Dawson, was threatening to kill her and their 2-week-old infant daughter. When police arrived, they said they heard Dawson inside the apartment, breaking items and making threats toward the infant. Police tried to speak to Dawson, but he reportedly refused to talk or release the baby. After about two hours, officers forced their way inside and allegedly found Dawson holding a sword over his daughter, threatening to kill her. Officer Paul Milone then shot Dawson, who died at the scene. The baby was physically unharmed.
