Three children charged as adults moved over to district court for trial

The three children charged as adults for the murder of an Omaha Uber charged had their preliminary hearing, Tuesday.

Two of the children waived their preliminary hearing. An Omaha Police Department homicide detective testified about what happened on August 13.

Siblings, Trenton Titsworth-Hunt, 17, Dasean Titsworth-Hunt, 16, and a third boy, Joseph Keyes, 14, all appeared in court, charged as adults. They are three of six charged in the homicide — including two boys just 11 and 13 years old.

“From what happened, it was pretty chaotic. It was almost kind of like a day-long event, honestly,” said Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine.

OPD homicide detective Chad Frodyma testified the group of six robbed and attempted to carjack two people at a west Omaha gas station late August 13. He said it was caught on dash cam video.

Just an hour later, Frodyma said another source captured audio and video of the same group allegedly carjacking and fatally shooting 64-year-old Mursal Jama outside his northwest Omaha home.
