SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Police are investigating the fatal stabbing of a man in central Sioux City. Sgt. Jeremy McClure says the man was killed Saturday night after a fight started over a disputed theft. The man’s name and other details have not been released. No arrests have been reported.

Police in Council Bluffs arrested a man early this (Monday) morning after he allegedly attempted to gain entry into the residence of his 29-year old ex-girlfriend. The incident occurred at around 12:45-a.m. in the 1400 block of Avenue B.  Authorities say 33-year old Jesus Medina, of Council Bluffs, made entry into the residence when the victim called police. Medina then left the residence and discharged several rounds from a handgun outside in an unknown direction. He left the scene in a vehicle.

Officers responding to the area located Medina in the area of N. 25th St and Nash Blvd., where a traffic stop was conducted. Medina was apprehended and a handgun was recovered.

The Atlantic School District’s Board of Education will hold a Special Meeting 6-p.m. Tuesday at the Middle School Library. During the meeting, the Board will act on awarding a renovation bid for the Cass, Incorporated Building.

On March 27th, the Atlantic School Board voted on approving an offer to purchase the Cass, Incorporated building and to terminate a more than $51,000 lease for another property. The purchase price was $925,000. The latest architects’ report on May 10th indicated an  additional $410-420,000 would be necessary to renovate the facility to make it ready for occupancy and programs. That was based on new State Fire Marshal requirements and the uncertainty over bid estimate.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Jury selection is scheduled to begin Tuesday for the trial of a Nebraska man accused of killing his estranged wife in northwestern Iowa. Court records say 29-year-old Rogelio Morales, of Hubbard, Nebraska, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. Prosecutors say he killed 21-year-old Margarita Morales on April 19, 2015, in his car near a Sioux City residence. The case has been delayed several times as defense attorneys have repeatedly withdrawn from representing Morales.

Court documents say Morales told investigators a fight broke out when his wife told him she no longer wanted to be in a relationship and that she was seeing another man.
