OMAHA, Nebraska – The United States Marshals Metro Fugitive Task Force in Omaha is asking the general public for assistance in locating a male suspect who is accused of carrying out a robbery in Omaha and a murder in Kearney.

Romeo Chambers, age 25, is accused of carrying out the heinous acts in January of 2022.

The location of the individual, who may possibly be known by the moniker “Rowdy,” is not yet known. The authorities said he stood 6-feet and 2 inches tall, weighed 165 pounds, and had a tattoo of the “B” insignia for the Boston Red Sox on his forehead.

According to the authorities, Chambers should be treated as armed and dangerous and should not be approached at any time. On a flier sent by the United States Marshals Service with information about Chambers, it is said that he was most recently spotted in Des Moines.

There is a prize of $10,000 available for information that leads to the individual’s arrest.

In Omaha, Des Moines, and Kansas City, according to the investigators, they have been working on leads related to this case.

At 12:26 in the morning on Wednesday, January 19, an attack was reported in the area of Saddle Creek Road and Leavenworth Street, as stated in a document filed with the Douglas County Court.

The victim reportedly disclosed to the officers of the Omaha Police Department that they had provided Chambers and another person with transportation, but that Chambers grew upset throughout the travel. The victim stated that after stopping the car, they struggled with Chambers, who eventually stole the keys from them. The victim’s thumb was wounded during the battle. According to the records, Chambers then walked away with the other passenger, taking with him the victim’s keys as well as the phone charger.

According to the affidavit filed with the court, Chambers was placed under custody following that event, and the amount of his bond was set at $25,000. Chambers was released on bail, but he did not show up for the preliminary hearing that was scheduled for March 30.
