Barnhouse Pleads Not Guilty in May Shooting | Lincoln News

Justis Barnhouse, 31, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the April shooting death of Joshua May, appearing in court after being arrested near the scene. The hearing also addressed prior criminal behavior, including a 2021 threat against a musician in Omaha — who was on bond at the time of the killing. Barnhouse’s lawyer pushed for consecutive sentencing on any weapon charges and requested bond, as Barnhouse remains jailed without bail. The judge deferred sentencing on those additional charges until June 1, with daily hearings scheduled in between. The case remains active, with future court dates shaping Barnhouse’s ultimate fate.
