TSCI inmate death
May 15, 2025 (Tecumseh, Neb.) – Lloyd Schoonmaker #34424, age 80, died yesterday at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution (TSCI).
Schoonmaker’s sentence began on June 11, 1982. He was serving a 10 year to life sentence out of Cass County for second degree murder.
While the cause of death has not yet been determined, Schoonmaker 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.
