The accident was reported a few minutes after 6 p.m. Thursday. Police say a southbound car turned west and was struck by a westbound sport utility vehicle. Police say the SUV ran off the roadway, went through a fence and down an embankment before it overturned.

OFFUTT AIR FORCE BASE, Neb. (AP) — Prosecutors say a journal allegedly written by an Omaha man last year detailed how he killed an Air Force service member.

A recounting of the slaying was presented Thursday in an Offutt Air Force Base courtroom.

Prosecutors say 20-year-old Airman 1st Class Rhianda Dillard was killed late July. She was found unresponsive on her bed Aug. 1. Prosecutors add that the handwriting in the journal matches that of suspect Airman 1st Class Timothy Wilsey, who went missing after Dillard’s death.

An Air Force Office of Special Investigations special agent testified that the journal was found when then-20-year-old Wilsey was picked up by military and local law enforcement in Virginia nearly two weeks after Dillard’s death.

Wilsey has been charged with premeditated murder and desertion under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A partnership between the city of Omaha and the Empowerment Network hopes to have jobs for a record number of teenagers this summer to teach life and employment skills.

The 2017 kick-off for the program, known as Step-Up Omaha, was held Wednesday morning. Step-Up aims to pair 14- to 21-year-olds with community businesses to provide summer jobs, vocational education, career exploration opportunities and internships so kids utilize their summers and stay out of trouble.

Program Director Jami Anders-Kemp says Step-Up helped nearly 470 young adults secure summer jobs or training in 2016. This year, the eight-week program hopes to help 600 kids.

Summer crime rates have decreased since the program started in 2008, and the city is noticing.

Mayor Jean Stothert is pledging to double the program’s funding for next year to $1 million.

Police say Loyd kicked in the apartment door of 22-year-old Destacia Straughn on Dec. 6, 2015, and shot her and her daughter, Kenacia Amerson-Straughn, to death. He also shot three other women visiting Straughn.
