OMAHA — An Omaha man suspected in a shooting last month has been arrested in Georgia.

A warrant charging 24-year-old Jamal Abram with attempted murder was issued before his arrest. He will be extradited to Nebraska to face the charge.

Omaha police believe Abram shot a 24-year-old woman several times in the back on June 23. The woman is still recovering from her injuries.

Police believe Abram targeted the woman because he believes she played a role in his cousin’s suicide last year. The woman had dated Abram’s cousin.
