SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) — A Scottsbluff man convicted of stomping another man to death has been sentenced to 16 to 20 years in prison.

33-year-old Chris Murrillo was sentenced Friday in Scotts Bluff County District Court for the November death of 36-year-old Abraham Crane of Scottsbluff.

Murrillo pleaded no contest last month to manslaughter in a deal with prosecutors, who had originally charged Murrillo with second-degree murder and assault in Crane’s death.

Scottsbluff police say Murrillo had been drinking when he attacked Crane after the two friends had argued. Police say Crane was severely beaten and kicked and found in an alley on Nov. 16. Crane died 13 days later at Regional West Medical Center.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts has called for all U.S. and state flags to fly at half-staff in honor of the victims of a deadly truck attack in Nice, France.

Ricketts’ order comes in accordance with a proclamation from President Barack Obama.

French authorities say 31-year-old Tunisian man, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, was behind the wheel as a truck crashed Thursday night into revelers celebrating Bastille Day, a French national holiday.

Flags will be flown at half-staff until sunset on Tuesday.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Hundreds of people have gathered at the steps of the Nebraska Capitol in Lincoln to protest the recent shootings of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana.

The protest seemed to draw nearly as many people as the more than 500 who gathered at a similar protest in Omaha on July 8.

In Lincoln, hundreds wore “Black Lives Matter” T-shirts and held signs. Speakers called on demonstrators to remember the black men who died in recent police shootings: 32-year-old Philando Castile of St. Paul, Minnesota, and 37-year-old Alton Sterling of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Police were highly visible at both of the protests, but the rallies were without incident for the most part. No one was arrested during the two-hour march and series of speeches in Lincoln. In Omaha, one person was arrested on a warrant.

TECUMSEH, Neb. (AP) — State officials say several inmates have been involved in an altercation at the prison in Tecumseh.

A Nebraska Correctional Services Department news release says two inmates involved Thursday were taken to a medical facility outside the prison for treatment. Prison spokeswoman Andrew Nystrom said Friday that one of them was treated and returned to the prison, and the other was taken to a Lincoln hospital for treatment. He couldn’t immediately say whether that prisoner had been returned to the prison as well.

Guards used pepper spray to break up the fight, and Nystrom says none of them was injured. He couldn’t say exactly how many inmates were involved.

The unit where the fight occurred is locked down.
