Omaha Man Pleads No Contest to Lesser Charge in 2022 Deadly Shooting
OMAHA, NEBRASKA — A man originally accused of first-degree murder in a 2022 Omaha shooting has pleaded no contest to a lesser charge as part of an ongoing court case tied to the death of 20-year-old DaeTiauna Kellogg.
According to court records, Cameron Foster entered a no-contest plea to second-degree attempted murder this week, reducing the severity of the initial charge. He is scheduled to be sentenced on December 18, authorities confirmed.
Foster was among three people charged in connection to Kellogg’s death, which occurred during a confrontation in 2022. Police previously testified that Kellogg was walking away when the suspect opened fire, fatally wounding her.
Additional Defendants Still Await Trial
Two other defendants in the case — Keanu Louis and Austin Hudson — remain in the judicial process. Louis is scheduled to stand trial beginning March 2, while Hudson has a pretrial hearing set for November 14, according to the Douglas County District Court docket.
Prosecutors have not commented on whether additional plea deals are being discussed for the co-defendants.
Background on the Case
The 2022 homicide drew significant attention after investigators revealed that Kellogg was unarmed and walking away when she was shot. The Omaha Police Department collected surveillance evidence and witness statements leading to the arrests of Foster, Louis, and Hudson.
Foster’s decision to plead no contest means he does not admit guilt but accepts conviction and sentencing under the reduced charge.
The Douglas County Attorney’s Office said the plea agreement reflects a combination of evidence and witness considerations ahead of trial.
