Two Omaha men who were shot at a crowded birthday party at a building near 33rd Street and Ames Avenue now face felony charges.
Imhotep Davis, 25, has been charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and unlawful possession of a firearm on school grounds.

Tyvel Lampkin-Davis, 28, was charged with accessory to a felony and unlawful possession of a firearm on school grounds.

Both appeared in court Tuesday. Douglas County Judge Stephanie Hansen ordered each held on $750,000 bail, meaning they would need to put up 10%, or $75,000, to be released from jail.
A third man who was arrested, Kiwan Dampeer, appeared in court Friday and faces four firearms-related charges.

So far, no one has been charged in connection with firing the shots that killed an Omaha woman and injured several others. But Omaha police investigators are still completing ballistics tests and hoping witnesses can help them pinpoint the shooters. A police spokesman said charges could be upgraded or others may be arrested in connection with the case, pending the results of the testing.
Davis and Lampkin-Davis were shot about 4 a.m. Nov. 13 near 33rd and Ames along with six others — one of those fatally.
Karly Wood, 20, was found inside the multi-use building with multiple gunshot wounds and died at a hospital, officials said. The others who were shot are expected to recover from their injuries.

Dampeer

Investigators found 24 spent shell casings inside the building and two .40-caliber casings in the parking lot of Skinner Elementary School, which is directly south of the building where the shooting occurred.

Dampeer is accused of firing the two .40-caliber rounds from the parking lot toward the back of the building, which had two basement-level garage doors, according to an affidavit.
Witnesses told police that many party attendees had parked in the school parking lot. According to surveillance video, Davis ran to the rear passenger side of a Ford F-250 truck, then pulled out a black handgun from the right side of his jacket.
The video showed that Davis then slid the handgun across the roof of a Chevrolet Malibu to Lampkin-Davis, who grabbed the gun. The two hugged, then Lampkin-Davis got in the Malibu. That car ended up in the hospital emergency room driveway.

Officers towed the car and searched it. They found an empty Glock 19 handgun in the center console. Lampkin-Davis told police he found the handgun on the floor after the shots were fired at the birthday party.

Because no one has been charged in Wood’s homicide, a $25,000 Omaha Crime Stoppers reward is still available for an anonymous tip that helps investigators find the shooter, said Omaha Police Lt. Neal Bonacci, a department spokesman. Anyone with information can contact the police homicide unit at 402-444-5656 or Crime Stoppers at 402-444-STOP, at www.omahacrimestoppers.org or on the P3 Tips mobile app.

Woman fatally shot at North Omaha gathering was saving to start her own business

A 20-year-old woman who died early Sunday after being shot at a large gathering in North Omaha had hopes of starting her own business.
Officers found Karly Wood and another person suffering from gunshot wounds after police were called to 3347 Ames Ave. at 4:08 a.m. Sunday. Wood and the second person were taken by ambulance to the Nebraska Medical Center.
Wood was pronounced dead at the hospital. Six other people at the gathering also were wounded and went to Omaha hospitals by private vehicles.

Wood had completed her shift at an Omaha bar near 74th and F Streets when she decided to go to a party, according to a GoFundMe post by Heather Chastain.

Chastain said in the post that Wood was saving to buy a house and start her own business. “Karly was charismatic, unique, and strong,” she wrote.
Autumn Wood said her sister also was working at a Target store. Karly had a talent for nail art and wanted to start her own beauty company, her sister said.
“Karly had something special, she was unapologetically her, with a heart of gold that could light up a room,” Autumn Wood said.

Karly’s mother, Amber Wood, said her daughter graduated from Papillion-La Vista High School in 2020. Karly was confident young woman with a great future, she said.
“To many people who were lucky enough to cross paths with her, even if in a dark place she was their light at the end of a tunnel,” Amber Wood said. “We hope people will never forget her and the confident driven spirit she projected.”


Autumn Wood said her sister was “beloved by many. She not only had dreams, but had plans to make them happen. Karly was born to stand out and she inspired others to do the same.”
“She always stood up for others and we now ask that everyone stands up for Karly Rain,” Autumn Wood said.
Omaha police on Monday released a list of the names of the other people wounded in the shooting: Tyvel Lampkin-Davis, 28; Charise Coleman, 27; Shannon Jackson, 31; Roger Dollison, 25; Ronald Arceneaux, 34; Gilbert Ledoux, 32; and Imhotep Davis, 25. They all were taken to Omaha hospitals by private vehicles, but Imhotep Davis later was transferred from Immanuel Medical Center to Creighton University Medical Center-Bergan Mercy’s trauma center.

Mayor Jean Stothert issued a statement Sunday offering her sympathy to Wood’s family.
“I have confidence in the Omaha Police Department to thoroughly investigate the shooting and provide the resources needed to ensure public safety,” she said. “The grieving family and friends of the victims deserve to know what happened.”

The investigation into the shooting is continuing.
