April 7, 2023 (Lincoln, Neb.) – Today, Francisco Luna #214957, age 55, died at a Lincoln hospital. He was incarcerated at the Reception and Treatment Center (RTC). 

Mr. Luna’s sentence began on May 16, 2022. He was serving a four to six year sentence for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person out of Sarpy County.

While the cause of death has not yet been determined, Mr. Luna was being treated for a medical condition. As is the case whenever an inmate dies in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS), a grand jury will conduct an investigation.
