On June 24, 1969, Vivian Strong, a 14-year-old Black American girl, was killed in Omaha, Nebraska, United States, when a white police officer shot her in the back of the head without warning. The white police officer, and his Black partner, had been dispatched to the location because there were "juveniles breaking in."

The killing sparked three days of riots in Omaha's predominantly Black Northeast neighborhood.
