LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Two of three men arrested in connection to the August shooting death of a man have been charged with first-degree murder.
Prosecutors charged the 19-year-old Joshua Nootenboom-Carr and 23-year-old Derick Lewis on Friday in the death of 21-year-old Maurice Lamont Williams. Nootenboom-Carr is also charged with attempted robbery and three weapons counts. Lewis also faces an attempted robbery charge.
A third man, 23-year-old Jason Holmes, is set to be arraigned next week. He is accused of arranging the botched robbery and driving the getaway car.
All three men are being held on $50,000 cash bond each.
Police say Williams was shot in the chest during the Aug. 30 home invasion. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
