COLUMBUS, Neb. (AP) — A Columbus woman accused of stabbing her brother is scheduled to be sentenced Friday.

Online court records show 21-year-old Alicia Martinez has taken a plea deal and pleaded no contest to attempted assault. Prosecutors dropped a charge of attempted murder and weapons, drugs and traffic charges in exchange for her plea.

The court records say prosecutors will recommend Martinez be sentenced to no more than 364 days in jail. The records also say the judge is not bound by the recommendation.

Court documents say Rogelio Barrios told officers that when he awoke in his bedroom during the stabbing July 11, he found his sister standing by his bed, holding an 8-inch boning knife. The documents say he was stabbed six times, suffering wounds in his chest, arms and a hand.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man released on parole less than two years ago for a Minnesota slaying has been charged with fatally shooting an Omaha woman and injuring her fiance last fall.

Omaha police say 31-year-old Tyeric Lessley was arrested Tuesday in Omaha and is scheduled to appear before a judge Thursday afternoon. Court records say he’s charged with first-degree murder, assault and three weapons crimes. He’s accused of killing Suzanne Pope and wounding Curtis Goodwin on Oct. 29. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Lessley.

Police have not said what led up to the shooting.

Authorities say Lessley was sent to a Minnesota prison after pleading guilty in 2010 to unintentional felony murder in Minneapolis. He was paroled in April 2015.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a man and woman were fatally shot and another man was wounded in three Omaha shootings.

The woman was shot about 1:15 a.m. Wednesday and found inside her house by officers who’d been sent to the area to check on gunshots. Police say the woman was pronounced dead later at a hospital. She’s been identified as 27-year-old Darnesha Mitchell.

The body of the slain man was found in a north Omaha street about 2:30 a.m. Police identified him as 28-year-old D’Angelo Branch.

Officers say the wounded man was hit by a shotgun blast and found in a parking lot of the Nebraska Furniture Mart around 4:40 a.m. He was identified as 37-year-old Jared Clawson.

No arrests have been reported. It’s unclear whether any of the shootings were related.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police have charged a man with murder in the shooting death last year of an Omaha teen.

Omaha police say an arrest warrant was issued Wednesday charging 21-year-old Otis Walker with first-degree murder and weapons counts in the November death of 16-year-old Markeise Dunn.

Police say Walker is already in a Nebraska prison on other charges.

On Nov. 26, officers responded to a report of a shooting in northeast Omaha and found Dunn suffering from gunshot wounds. Dunn was rushed to Creighton Medical Center, where he died of his injuries.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha school board members are scheduled to meet again Jan. 23 to break a deadlock on who shall lead them as board president.

The board voted 125 times Monday night and early Tuesday morning but failed to reach a decision. Neither board members Lou Ann Goding nor Marque Snow could gain the five votes they needed for a majority of the eight members in attendance. The board is down a member because the Subdistrict 4 seat is open.

The matter was tabled for two weeks, until the next scheduled meeting.

Board member Lacey Merica said she was hopeful the board can reach a resolution then and not have it take 120 more ballots.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The family of a Kansas lawmaker’s 10-year-old son killed last summer on what was billed as the world’s tallest water slide has reached a settlement with the park’s owner.

Terms of the deal filed Wednesday in Kansas’ Johnson County District Court involving Caleb Schwab’s family were not immediately released.

A spokeswoman for Schlitterbahn Waterparks and Resorts, Winter Prosapio, confirmed the settlement, which was first reported by The Kansas City Star. She declined to elaborate, other than to say the park’s owners plan to follow through on demolishing the slide as announced in November.

An attorney for two women injured with Schwab during the ill-fated ride last Aug. 7 says Wednesday’s action does not resolve any potential liabilities against the park by his clients.

No charges have been filed.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Police say a man was killed and a woman and another man were wounded in three Omaha shootings.

The body of the slain man was found in a north Omaha street about 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police say the woman was shot about 1:15 a.m. and found inside her house by officers who’d been sent there.

Officers say the wounded man was hit by a shotgun blast and found in a parking lot of the Nebraska Furniture Mart around 4:40 a.m. He was identified as 37-year-old Jared Clawson.

Police haven’t released the other people’s names. No arrests have been reported. It’s unclear whether any or all of the shootings were related.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A former city of Omaha employee who filed a federal lawsuit alleging sexual harassment and other wrongdoing in the Omaha Public Works Department will receive a $175,000 settlement.

The Omaha City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to settle a lawsuit brought by Traci Shelby for $100,000, plus $75,000 in attorney’s fees.

The lawsuit said a co-worker repeatedly made sexually explicit comments toward Shelby, and a supervisor showed her a pornographic video. The lawsuit said that when she applied for a full-time job, other employees were given a copy of the civil service exam and answers ahead of the test.

City officials say the testing process has been changed to deter cheating and that employees involved in the allegations were disciplined and demoted.

YORK, Neb. (AP) — A man convicted last year for a second time in the death of his infant daughter has been sentenced to 35 to 40 years in prison.

Ryan Kozisek, formerly of Gresham, was sentenced Monday in York County District Court. He had pleaded no contest last month to attempted child abuse. Prosecutors had lowered the charge and dropped another.

He has been given credit for nearly four years already served behind bars.

In March, the Nebraska Court of Appeals granted Kozisek a new trial, saying his ex-wife should not have been allowed to testify in his original trial. The baby died Jan. 25, 2011, a day after Kozisek called 911 to report she wasn’t breathing.
