Angel Gonzalez Sanchez Omaha, NE Death: Beloved Resident Was Fatally Attacked On Christmas Day
It is with profound sadness and heartfelt sympathy that we honor the life of Angel Gonzalez‑Sanchez, a cherished member of the Omaha, Nebraska community whose life was tragically cut short on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025. Angel — a devoted son, friend, and neighbor — was found suffering from severe injuries in a fatal attack late that evening and later pronounced deceased at a local hospital. Police are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding his death as a homicide.
Angel was 36 years old, and his loss has left a deep void in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Though his life was taken under heartbreaking circumstances, it is remembered for the warmth, kindness, and spirit he shared with family, friends, and community members throughout the years. Those who were fortunate enough to know Angel describe someone whose presence brightened the lives of others and whose caring nature made him a beloved figure within his circle.
The Omaha Police Department responded late on Christmas night to a 911 call at the area of 107th Plaza and Fort Street, where Angel was discovered with serious cutting injuries. Despite the efforts of first responders and medical staff, he was later pronounced dead. Authorities quickly took 41‑year‑old Maryuris Velasquez‑Mendoza into custody on multiple charges connected to the incident, including first‑degree domestic violence assault with serious bodily injury, use of a weapon in the commission of a felony, and tampering with evidence. The Douglas County Attorney’s Office is reviewing the charges as the investigation continues.
The holiday season — a time meant for joy, reflection, and togetherness — has been forever changed for Angel’s loved ones and the Omaha community. In the face of this loss, neighbors and friends are united in grief, holding close the memory of a life that touched so many.
