Four accused in shooting death of Nebraska girl, 5

OMAHA, Neb. - Four men earlier arrested in connection with a neighborhood shooting in Nebraska that led to the death of a 5-year-old Omaha girl now face charges more directly tying them to the girl's death.

Police said the four Omaha men were booked on the new charges Wednesday morning in the Jan. 15 death of Payton Benson.

Police have said the little girl was eating breakfast in her family home when she was struck by a stray bullet.

Police say 20-year-old Vincent Hooks has been booked on suspicion of first-degree murder, criminal conspiracy and three felony weapons counts, and 22-year-old Adonus Moses has been booked for criminal conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. Also, 18-year-old Jaylen Montgomery now faces three weapons counts, and 21-year-old Jacob Brown faces two weapons charges.

Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said the four are associated with a gang, reports CBS affiliate KMTV. Kleine said the suspects were driving a stolen vehicle in rival gang territory looking for someone to shoot on Jan. 15. When they found someone, they shot at the unidentified individual and during the course of the shooting, a bullet hit the house that Payton Benson was in, killing her.
