(AP) Omaha Police say a Creighton University baseball administrator was shot and killed Thursday in the yard of an Omaha home that he had just sold to a realty company.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that 37-year-old Christopher Gradoville died from multiple gunshot wounds. Police say they have arrested a tenant in the home, 43-year-old Ladell Thornton, on suspicion of first-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Gradoville was the director of baseball operations at Creighton University since the fall of 2020. Gradoville was also also a former player at Creighton. The motive for the shooting is not yet known.
