Nikko Allen Jenkins (sometimes spelled Nicholas on first name; born September 16, 1986)[1] is an American spree killer convicted of committing four murders in Omaha, Nebraska, in August 2013.

[10] The two victims, identified as Juan Uribe-Pena and Jorge C. Cajiga-Ruiz, had each been shot once in the head by a shotgun, and their pockets turned inside out.

On August 19, around 7 a.m., the body of Curtis Bradford was found outside a detached garage at 18th and Clark Street by a man returning home from a night shift at a convenience store.

Jenkins' fourth and final victim, Andrea Kruger, a mother of three, was discovered on August 21, at about 2:15 a.m., by a deputy sheriff responding to a shots-fired call.

[16] Later that week, a news conference was held by Douglas County Sheriff Tim Dunning, in which he stated that investigators believed the SUV had been abandoned roughly 2.5 hours after being stolen, and that a "feeble attempt" had been made at setting the vehicle's interior ablaze.

By then, the evidence against him had mounted—investigators had the image of a female associate on surveillance footage at a local gun outlet buying the kind of distinctive ammunition (Brenneke Classic Magnum 12-gauge, commonly known as "deer slugs") that had been used to commit the killings.

[13] In handwritten letters dated November 3, 2013, submitted to the Omaha World-Herald, prosecutors, and a judge, Jenkins said he wished to plead guilty to all counts in the four slayings and that he would protect Apophis' kingdom with "animalistic savage brutality.

"[19] On February 19, 2014, Jenkins filed a federal lawsuit seeking $24.5 million from the State of Nebraska for wrongfully releasing him from prison.

The judge ordered a psychiatric evaluation, and a psychiatrist concluded that Jenkins had antisocial personality disorder and was faking psychotic symptoms.

[4] His courtroom antics included speaking in tongues, howling, and laughing as prosecutors recounted the details of his victims' deaths.

[23] On July 29, Judge Bataillon ordered Jenkins to be housed at the Lincoln Regional Center psychiatric hospital until doctors were satisfied with his condition.

[24] Officials at the Regional Center refused to house Jenkins due to inadequate security,[25] but doctors agreed to treat him at a Lincoln prison.
