A teenager accused of opening fire on Omaha police on November 20th is now formally charged in the case.

Cameron Williams, 15, was charged Thursday with attempted second-degree murder, use of a firearm to commit a felony and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. His bond was set at $1 million.

Police say Williams was a passenger in a car that was stopped at 84th & G, for having expired tags. They say he ran away from the vehicle, turning around and firing at police. An officer fired back, hitting Williams in the shoulder.

Williams was arrested upon his release from the hospital Wednesday.

"He's in a lot of pain,” said his defense attorney Glenn Shapiro. “He was just released yesterday from the hospital. He should be under a doctor's care. But they wanted him in custody and charged.” He added, “I'm sure the jail will give him appropriate medical care, but he's in a lot of pain."

Williams waived his right to a preliminary hearing at Shapiro’s advice. The attorney says it will clear the way for a request to transfer the case to juvenile court. “He's a 15 year-old child who committed a crime,” Shapiro said. “No one was hurt, fortunately, except for my client."

That child is no stranger to the justice system. Juvenile records from Sarpy county show disobedience at home, school truancy and expulsion.

In 2006, he got in trouble for giving false information and obstructing a peace officer. School troubles and troubles at his home in Bellevue continued and he was placed in temporary state custody.

In 2008, his grandfather wrote, “Cameron is really an out of control young man and need(s) help in getting himself back on track.”

In February of 2009, he was back in court for having a controlled substance.

Williams has been on probation many times. In June of 2009, it was revoked for having marijuana “packaged for distribution” and “a large amount of cash.”

Two months later, he was accused of the same thing. And by September, he was in trouble for obstructing law enforcement once again.

Thursday, Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine said this most recent case belongs in district court, not juvenile. "There’s a history there. Certainly the crime we're alleging occurred is not of a juvenile nature."

Prosecutors believe they have a solid case. Evidence includes a .40-caliber handgun found on Williams at the scene, minus two bullets, a 3.5 lb. bag of marijuana separated in bags, and nearly $5,000 cash.

Williams would need a $100,000, 10% of his bond to get out of jail. "We asked for a substantial bond and I think that's an appropriate bond set by the judge," said Kleine.

In the past, Williams had to wear monitoring devices through the C.A.R.E. program in Sarpy county juvenile court and staffers checked up on him. He had completed that program before what unfolded two weeks ago, but he was still on probation for marijuana.

If convicted of the most recent charges in Douglas county, Williams faces up to 120 years in prison.
