A bizarre and terrifying series of attacks unfolded in Omaha as a 20-year-old male and a 17-year-old female allegedly dressed as the iconic horror character Michael Myers from the "Halloween" movie franchise attacked multiple people with a hammer and robbed them. The suspects were taken into custody following a spree of violence that left victims traumatized.*
Omaha Police responded to a flurry of calls on the evening of October 23, reporting a string of robberies and suspicious incidents between 6:11 p.m. and 7:05 p.m. Each victim recounted a horrifying encounter with a masked assailant resembling Michael Myers, who wielded a hammer and robbed them.
The suspect, described as a man, drove a gray or silver sedan during the attacks. One victim, a 79-year-old individual, suffered "bleeding facial injuries" during the assault, and his wallet was stolen. The suspects attempted to rob four individuals, successfully taking items from two of them.
Omaha Police initiated a swift response, leading to a breakthrough in the case. On October 25, officers located the suspect's vehicle and took 20-year-old Jorden Payne into custody. Payne faces two counts of robbery and two counts of attempted robbery.
Additionally, a 17-year-old, believed to be Payne's girlfriend, was apprehended and faces charges of two counts of robbery, one count of attempted robbery, and one count of criminal mischief. Reports suggest that the teenage suspect may have acted as the getaway driver following the robberies.
The victims' ordeals included stolen cellphones and wallets, and in one instance, a victim was chased by a masked assailant. Upon returning to his vehicle, the victim discovered that his car window had been smashed.
This disturbing incident has left the Omaha community in shock. While the motives behind these attacks remain unclear, the arrest of the suspects provides some relief to those affected by the horrifying encounters.
The arrest of Jorden Payne and his alleged accomplice underscores the swift and effective response of law enforcement in addressing crimes that threaten public safety.
