LINCOLN, Neb. (KMTV) — The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) says 53-year-old Nebraska State Penitentiary inmate Jay Witt died Wednesday evening.
Witt was serving a 30-40 year sentence for killing William Furlong at the Hells Angels Clubhouse in Omaha in July 2013.
He was charged with manslaughter, use of a deadly weapon and possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person.
The cause of death has not yet been determined; however, Witt was being treated for a medical condition.
Whenever an inmate dies in NDCS custody, a grand jury conducts an investigation.
