A 56-year-old inmate incarcerated at the Reception and Treatment Center died Wednesday at a Lincoln hospital.
Shawnn Nahkahyen-Clearsand’s sentence began on October 30, 2023. He was serving a 40 to 50 year sentence out of Douglas County for attempted first degree sexual assault of a child.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
As is the case whenever an inmate dies in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS), a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
