An Omaha woman is mourning the death of her boyfriend, a suspected burglar shot and killed by a business owner over the weekend. She believes that business owner should be charged with a crime.

Police say Jesus Franco broke into the business near 24th and I streets around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, struggled with the owner and then ran from the scene after being shot. Police found Franco dead a few blocks away, alone in his car. Click here to find out more!

Lynn Pecha is overcome with grief. Franco's girlfriend does not believe the story. “It's not right, he didn't have no weapons on him, the cops never found weapons and the guy said he had a knife. There was no knife.”

Lynn's mother agrees that charges should be filed against the business owner.

"The scenario was he broke into the business, doesn’t give a person the right to shoot somebody, especially if you don't see a weapon,” said Deana Arellano.

“Then no weapon was found, doesn’t give you the right to shoot somebody. There are laws against that and I think there needs to be a full investigation.”

Nothing like defending criminal action. The police see this differently.

Hopefully the business owner will sue the burglar’s estate for the cost of the bullet and wear and tear on the weapon.

Don’t you just love how our recent immigrants have so quickly grasped the concepts of private property, Rule of Law and “Thou Shalt Not Steal”?

If this is a Liberal area, trust me the business owner will be indicted. I remember several years ago a burglar (I think it was in California) sued a homeowner when the burglar fell through a skylight on the homeowner’s roof and was injured. The burglar won. Go figure. For Liberals the criminals are GOOD, the victims are BAD.

“She believes that business owner should be charged with a crime.”
No, he oughtta get a medal. The business owner should file a suit against the mother and girlfriend for allowing this asshole to be a crook.
“The police see this differently.” Most street cops I knew, including me, would have applauded the businessman.

Omaha is in Nebraska, not in Oklahoma.

There was a case in the midwest(Wisconsin?)where a burglar fell through a skylight at a public school, sued and won $250K.

In such cases, all the victim needs to do is tell the police that the now-dead perp said “I’m going to kill you”...

Actually, it does, Deana. You're a dope, and so is your daughter, as demonstrated by her hooking up with a failed criminal. Better luck next time.

The woman is upset that her meal ticket is dead, and she’s going to have to find somebody else to sleep in her bed for pay.

Of course, the burglar was a good person, son, and father, who was turning his life around.

“Then no weapon was found, doesn’t give you the right to shoot somebody. There are laws against that and I think there needs to be a full investigation.” I don't have a problem with an investigation. Who knows? Maybe the business owner is actually a narcotics distributor and this is a deal gone bad. But if you conclude that the business owner is telling the truth, that's all you need to close this file.
