LINCOLN–(KFOR July 14)–Lincoln Police have identified the victim in the deadly shooting early Monday morning at a home near 13th and Washington, as 48-year-old Adolfo Aguado.

Chief Jeff Bliemeister on Tuesday morning said Aguado had been in a dispute with his 21-year-old son, Adolfo Ortiz. Family members tried to escort Ortiz from the house, after he retrieved a gun. Chief Bliemeister said Ortiz allegedly fired several shots, while being escorted out, and one of the bullets struck Aguado.
