Omaha police have issued an active arrest warrant for a 14-year-old suspect in connection with the homicide of 18-year-old Joseph Baha. The victim was discovered deceased inside a vehicle near the intersection of 48th and Seward streets earlier this month. Authorities are currently searching for the uncharged juvenile, who is believed to be involved in the fatal shooting. In a related development, a second 14-year-old, identified as Carl Peak, has already been taken into custody and charged as an adult. Peak faces multiple felony counts, including robbery and the use of a weapon to commit a felony. He recently waived his preliminary hearing and is scheduled to stand trial in district court, having been held on a bond set at 10 percent of $250,000. Investigators have not yet released specific details regarding the motive or the sequence of events that led to the gunfire. The Douglas County Attorney’s Office, under the direction of County Attorney Don Kleine, continues to actively investigate the case and is urging the public to remain vigilant. Law enforcement officials are asking anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of the 14-year-old suspect or additional details about the shooting to come forward. Residents are encouraged to contact the Omaha Police Department or the Douglas County Attorney’s Office directly with any tips. The investigation remains ongoing as detectives work to secure the remaining suspect and build a comprehensive case for prosecution.
