June 20, 2023 (Lincoln, Neb.) – Bobby Wallace #79746, age 45, died Sunday, June 18, 2023. He was found unresponsive in his cell at the Reception and Treatment Center (RTC). Staff members initiated CPR and contacted emergency medical services. Upon their arrival, he was pronounced deceased. The Nebraska State Patrol will handle the investigation into his death.

Wallace’s sentence began on February 21, 2014. He was serving a 40 to 60 year sentence for charges out of Douglas County that include second degree murder, attempted second degree assault and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.
