Lincoln, Neb. — Authorities say a man shot by a Nebraska state trooper last week during a drug investigation has died at a Lincoln hospital. The Lincoln Journal Star reports that 27-year-old German Pedrazo died Sunday night, four days after he was shot in a Lincoln parking lot. Police have said the shooting happened Wednesday afternoon when members of the Lincoln Lancaster County Narcotics Task Force who were following up on a tip spotted a car carrying Pedrazo and a woman. Police investigators have said the trooper fired the shot after Pedrazo reached to pull out a gun when confronted by police. Pedrazo was shot in the neck and underwent emergency surgery. The trooper’s name has not been released.
