A car crashed into a road construction barricade near 24th and Redick Avenue in Omaha after fleeing police, according to information reported on October 30, 2026. Three juvenile males were taken into custody following the crash, and guns were recovered from the car.

The pursuit followed a shooting call near 25th and Wirt streets. Omaha police officers responded to that area around 4 p.m. Friday. That time refers to the response to the shooting, not the crash; authorities did not provide a separate time for the collision.

According to police, gang unit detectives were nearby when they heard gunshots. At the scene, they found a 15-year-old male firing at a vehicle. A detective confronted the teen, who was still armed, and fired at him. The teen surrendered, and his gun was recovered nearby.

Police attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled the shooting scene. A pursuit was declared before the car struck the construction barricade near 24th and Redick Avenue.

Investigators said the injured male in the shooting had been shot before police arrived and was not injured by officers. He was expected to recover. That reported injury does not establish that anyone was hurt in the crash, and no crash-related injuries were reported.

Omaha police said no officers were injured in the incident. The department said the investigation was ongoing and advised of traffic restrictions near 25th and Wirt streets.
