Brian K. Carson
Omaha, NE - More information in an Elkhorn murder. Omaha police say 45-year-old Brian Carson's body was found in an abandoned car a half mile north of State Street on 234th Street in Douglas County.
Three people are arrested for the murder, including Carson's son. 19-year-old Ryan Carson is booked for 2nd degree murder. Nicole Walker and Jeffrey Hill, also 19, are booked for accessory to a felony.
The investigation stems from a burglary call to police at 6:06 a.m. on Sunday morning. Officers arrived at 4024 N. 211th Street and could see a serious assault took place. Witnesses directed officers to the abandoned car, where Carson's body was found.
Nebraska Humane Society spokeswoman Pam Wiese says dogs have been taken from home in connection with what happened. http://www.action3news.com/Global/story.asp?S=10132987
Brian K. Carson, 45, was killed in an apparent dispute with his son, 19-year-old Ryan K. Carson, Omaha police said.
The son was arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder. Two others — Nicole M. Walker, 19, and Jeffrey P. Hill, 22 — were arrested on suspicion of being accessories to a felony.
The investigation had three crime scenes: a split-level home in the Ramblewood neighborhood north of 211th Street and West Maple Road; a trailer park north of 210th Street and West Dodge Road; and an abandoned vehicle, where the body was found, ditched in a cornfield near the Elkhorn River.
Officer Jacob Bettin gave this account Sunday afternoon:
Police were called about a possible burglary at 4024 N. 211th St. at 6:06 a.m. Sunday
When officers arrived, they found evidence of a serious assault.
Police then found a dead man, later identified as Brian Carson, inside a car near 234th Street and State Streets.
The Nebraska Humane Society took dogs from the Ramblewood house and from a trailer home at 715 N. 210th St. Humane Society spokeswoman Pam Wiese said the society takes animals for safekeeping if their owners are unable to care for them.
The Ramblewood home, according to Douglas County records, was owned by Brian Carson. A car in the driveway was registered to Brian and Teresa Carson, with an address that matched the trailer park police were investigating.
Homicides are so rare in the Elkhorn area that several former officials could not remember when the last one occurred.
"I certainly don't recall anything like this," said Roger Breed, who served 22 years at the helm of Elkhorn schools. Breed recently stepped down as superintendent to take the state's top education job.
"A lot of shootings, a lot of suicides, a lot of accidental deaths. I don't recall ever a homicide-homicide," said Tim Dempsey, former Elkhorn police chief whose experience in that area dates back to 1970, when he started with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"I don't, and I've been here for 50 years," said retiree Jim Fencl.
Former Elkhorn Fire Chief Steve Morrissey said the last homicide he recalled was the discovery in 2000 of a woman's beaten body inside a semitrailer truck whose driver had killed himself. Investigators at the time said they didn't think the woman had been killed where the truck was found, in a parking lot near a mobile home in the same trailer park near 210th Street and West Dodge Road being investigated now.
The car that held Brian Carson's body was left in Calvin Paasch's cornfield near the farmer's home in the northwest corner of Douglas County.
Paasch said Saturday's stormy, windy weather drowned out any other outside noise, including the barking of his two outdoor dogs, a Labrador and Lab mix that would have barked at the car.

The weather also temporarily had knocked out power, Paasch said. Sunday morning, as he and his wife were going from room to room to reset their clocks, they noticed an old white car sitting in their cornfield.
Paasch didn't think much at first of the vehicle. A lot of partyers use Rainwood Road to get to the bank of the Elkhorn River. Maybe someone ran out of gas, he thought, or had car trouble.
Then an Omaha police car showed up, and Paasch went out to investigate.
Stay back, officers told him.
Paasch said he was asked if he recognized the car. He did not.
He later heard that the car was tied to a homicide investigation and that the suspect was a relative of the victim. He said he has trouble understanding recent reports of family members turning against each other so violently.
"It's way beyond anything I can comprehend," he said.
