Brandon Oman, Stevie Oman Obituary, Death News – Iowa authorities have identified the two people killed and the suspect critically injured in a violent incident in Glenwood that involved both a shooting and a house fire. According to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, law enforcement responded to a home near 4th and Grove Streets around 7:30 p.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered the residence engulfed in flames and two gunshot victims lying outside the home. Officials said the situation began as a shooting and was followed by an explosion inside the residence, which led to a large fire.

The victims were identified as 38-year-old Brandon Oman and his 35-year-old wife, Stevie Oman. Brandon Oman was pronounced dead at the scene, while Stevie Oman was rushed to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Sadly, she later died from her injuries.

Authorities arrested 71-year-old Dennis Burnell in connection with the incident. He was found exiting his burning residence and was taken into custody. Burnell sustained critical injuries during the events and was transported to a medical facility for treatment.

Preliminary findings suggest the violence resulted from an interpersonal dispute between the individuals involved. Investigators noted that the Omans lived directly across the street from Burnell, according to local property records.

At this time, the case remains under active investigation as officials work to understand the full timeline and motive behind the shooting and explosion. No further details about the nature of the dispute or what may have triggered the confrontation have been released.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation continues to lead the investigation, assisted by local law enforcement and fire personnel. They are working to gather evidence from the scene, including forensic analysis and witness statements.

Authorities have not disclosed whether Burnell will face formal charges yet, as his medical condition is still critical. However, he remains the primary suspect in the deaths of Brandon and Stevie Oman.

The tragic event has left the Glenwood community in shock. What started as a neighborhood dispute escalated into a deadly act of violence, taking the lives of two residents and leaving their families and neighbors devastated.

Officials have assured the public that there is no ongoing threat and that the situation appears to be isolated. They are encouraging anyone with information that could aid the investigation to come forward.

As the investigation continues, more details may emerge about the history between the suspect and the victims, and what led to the deadly encounter. In the meantime, the community mourns the loss of the Omans and awaits updates on the legal proceedings surrounding the suspect.
