Combining the recent developments of the observations of $Omega$ sates we calculate the $Omega$ spectrum up to the $N=2$ shell within a nonrelativistic constituent quark potential model. Furthermore, the strong and radiative decay properties for the $Omega$ resonances within the $N=2$ shell are evaluated by using the masses and wave functions obtained from the potential model. It is found that the newly observed $Omega(2012)$ resonance is most likely to be the spin-parity $J^P=3/2^-$ $1P$-wave state $Omega(1^{2}P_{3/2^{-}})$, it also has a large potential to be observed in the $Omega(1672)gamma$ channel. Our calculation shows that the 1$P$-, 1$D$-, and 2$S$-wave $Omega$ baryons have a relatively narrow decay width of less than 50 MeV. Based on the obtained decay properties and mass spectrum, we further suggest optimum channels and mass regions to find the missing $Omega$ resonances via the strong and/or radiative decay processes.
