Investigators said Vazquez shot Herrera in the torso after he and another man in the home, Orion Ross, jumped out a window. Ross was arrested shortly after the shooting. Vazquez was found outside another home later, Lincoln police said. Ross testified during Vazquez’s trial.

Herrera survived at Nebraska Medicine for two weeks before dying. He was a 23-year veteran of the force.

Jurors also found Vazquez guilty of all other counts including two charges of use of a firearm to commit a felony, attempted assault on an officer, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, possession of a stolen fire arm and escape.

The judge ruled that Vazquez would not get a fair trial in Lincoln due to “ongoing, pervasive media coverage” of the case. It was moved to Columbus.
