Schmaderer’s statement was released along with additional information about the death of 39-year-old Jacob Jamrozy. The Omaha Police Department previously said Jamrozi was shot by an officer who was helping serve an order of protection. Two officers were called to assist with the order due to information that firearms may have been in the apartment. The department released the following details Friday based on its investigation: Officers Jason Martinez and Jennifer Turner arrived outside an apartment building at 10037 R St. at 14:58 on Wednesday. Officers were responding to a call from a Douglas County process server requesting assistance in the immediate removal and protection of Jamrozy.

The process server informed the officers before all three entered the building. Officer Turner approached Jamrozy’s apartment door and the process server followed. Turner then began pounding on the door 28 seconds after 2:59 p.m. He struck seven times. Thirty-two seconds after he started knocking, at exactly 3:00 p.m., Jamrozy opened the apartment door holding a Remington 11-87, 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun loaded with four rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. Turner immediately drew her service weapon while yelling “put the gun down.” He gave the command three times. Just two seconds after he opened the door — as verbal commands were still being given — Jamrozy leveled the shotgun at Turner, who fired a round, striking Jamrozy in the chest. Officers Turner and Martinez took positions outside the apartment door as the process server left the building. They then entered the apartment and found Jamrozy downstairs in the kitchen, near the front door. Turner called for medical help on her radio while Martinez cleaned the apartment. Turner checked Jamrosy for a pulse but found none. Omaha Fire Department medics arrived at the scene and pronounced Jamrosy dead. The Omaha Police Department said detectives from the Papillion Police Department and the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office were assisted in the investigation. His findings were based on interviews with Turner and Martinez and witnesses. The investigation also included “an extensive review” of body camera footage, according to the department. Statements made by the two officers match the footage and physical evidence at the scene, according to the department, which also released five images Friday that appear to be from Turner’s body camera. In a statement, Schmaderer said Turner — a seven-year veteran of the Omaha department — “took the necessary steps when her life was in danger. “Her lethal force was consistent with our department’s policy and procedure,” he said. Jamrozy’s father, Daniel Jamrozy, 66, of Bellevue, told the World-Herald Thursday that his son “had some personal issues” but was “a good, solid person.” The younger Jamrozy, a 2001 graduate of Blair High School, worked installing and repairing hardwood floors, Daniel Jamrozy said. The elder Jamrozy said he had spoken with Omaha police about his son’s death and was satisfied with the information they provided. “I have no animosity towards the police,” he said. “I am devastated by the loss of my son. I’m devastated.” The case will be presented to a grand jury as required by state law. Get the latest local public safety news with this weekly email.
