Lincoln Police Investigate Apparent Homicide | 2025

Published on October 23, 2025

The Lincoln Police Department (LPD) is investigating an apparent homicide after a Lincoln woman was found deceased in her home.

On Thursday, October 23, around 8 a.m., LPD received a check welfare call from a relative who said they hadn't seen the woman for a couple days. Police met family members at the residence, 1635 Deweese Drive. When officers entered the property, they found a woman in her 40s and a man in his 40s inside.

The woman had injuries to her neck and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Her name is not being released at this time pending family notification. Our thoughts are with her loved ones as they grieve this tragic loss. An autopsy will be scheduled to determine cause, manner and time of death.

The man was taken into custody without incident and to the hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries to his face and neck.

At this time, the nature of the relationship between the two and whether the incident is domestic-related is part of the investigation. Officers will remain on scene for several hours as crime scene investigators process evidence and conduct interviews.

Anyone with information that could assist the investigation is asked to call our non-emergency number at 402-441-6000. If you would like to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 402-475-3600, report online at lincolncrimestoppers.com or download the free P3 app.

This is the sixth homicide investigation of 2025. Three of the previous five have been domestic-related murder-suicide incidents. There are resources available for survivors online: https://www.lincoln.ne.gov/City/Departments/Police/About-LPD/Transparency/Domestic-Violence
