17 September 2018 :

A 3-judge panel sentenced Anthony Garcia to death. Garcia, 45, Hispanic, a former doctor, was sentenced to death on Friday for the revenge killings of four people connected to a Nebraska medical school, including the 11-year-old son of a physician who helped fire the man from a residency program nearly two decades ago. In October 2016, a Douglas County jury convicted Garcia on 4 counts of 1st Degree Murder in what some now refer to, as the “Creighton killings,” the 2008 deaths of Thomas Hunter (11) and Shirlee Sherman (57) and the 2013 deaths of Dr. Roger and Mary Brumback. Garcia was convicted for the attacks on families connected to Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha. Prosecutors argued the killings were motivated by Garcia’s long-simmering rage over being fired in 2001 by Dr. William Hunter and another Creighton pathology doctor, Roger Brumback. Hunter was the son of Garcia's former boss at Creighton.
