Nikko Allen Jenkins (sometimes spelled Nicholas on first name; born September 16, 1986) is an American spree killer convicted of four murders, committed in August 2013 over a ten-day period in Omaha, Nebraska. The murders occurred within a month after he had been released from prison after serving 10-and-a-half years of an 18 year sentence for a carjacking and assaults committed in prison. Jenkins was aided by family members in some of the murders and later stated that he had committed the killings at the command of the ancient serpent god Apophis. He was found competent to stand trial, found guilty of the four murders, and was sentenced to death in May 2017.
