Arrests made in death of Lincoln man found in street

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Police say three people have been arrested in connection with the death of a Lincoln man killed earlier this month.

Police say in a news release that 27-year-old James Richard Howard, of Lincoln, was arrested in Leon County, Texas, on Friday. He’s charged in a Nebraska warrant with being an accessory to a felony in the death of 42-year-old Stacy Talbot.

Police say 32-year-old Jesse James Wilson and 34-year-old Sherry Lynn Thomas, both of Lincoln, were arrested Saturday in Clovis, New Mexico. Wilson is charged with theft, and Thomas is charged with attempt of a felony in an unrelated case.

Police didn’t detail what roles those arrested are suspected of having in Talbot’s death.

Talbot was found Oct. 18 in a Lincoln street with a gunshot wound to the chest. He was pronounced dead at a Lincoln hospital.
