A report in the Omaha World-Herald says prosecutors have agreed to drop second-degree murder charges against a 24-year-old Omaha man accused of a fatal shooting on the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, which links Omaha and Council Bluffs. Terrece R. Cox had been scheduled to go on trial Monday. Instead, Cox is expected to be released from jail today (Friday), after the murder charge and six other counts are dismissed.
Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine and Cox’s attorney, Bill Eustice, said witnesses were either evasive or uncooperative with police and prosecutors. Cox has always claimed he was innocent in the 1-a.m. shooting death on May 29th, of 26-year old Shamari Richards.
About a dozen young people were on the bridge about 1 a.m. At least seven of them, including a 16-year-old girl, had been drinking in celebration of the girl’s birthday. Then they came in contact with Richards and a few of his friends. At some point, a young woman was punched. A confrontation ensued. Shots were fired. Richards was killed. Kevin Jenkins, who was 29 at the time, and Jeremy Fejeran, who was 19, were also shot, but they survived.
The Iowa Court of Appeals, Thursday, upheld the 10-year prison sentence of a former fire chief from western Iowa. The Omaha World-Herald reports the Court’s action was affirmed in the case against Mike McKinnon. McKinnon, former fire chief in Denison, plead guilty to a felony charge of theft in the first degree, and was sentenced last March.
He served as Denison’s fire chief for 10 years, resigning in January 2010 to accept a position as fire science instructor at San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico. The theft charge was filed against him in December 2011, after a special audit by the Iowa Auditor’s Office and an investigation by the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation. McKinnon was accused of making $95,896 of improper and unsupported disbursements from July 1, 2005, to March 31, 2010.
An Attorney for the Treynor Community School District says officials will not take action against the District’s Superintendent, whose son plead guilty in connection with the assault of some of his female classmates. The Omaha World-Herald says a petition had sought the removal of Superintendent Kevin Elwood. The petition on moveon.org had been signed by 169 people as of Thursday afternoon. It asks the school board to request Elwood’s immediate resignation, contending that he did not properly investigate or act on reports of alleged sexual harassment and abuse in the district.
In September, Elwood’s son, 18-year old Kreighton Elwood, accepted a plea agreement in a sex abuse case involving some of his Treynor High School classmates. Kreighton Elwood pleaded guilty to one count of assault, one count of assault causing bodily injury and one count of false imprisonment. He was sentenced to 14 days in jail and two years of probation and ordered to successfully complete a counseling program for sex offenders. He was also ordered to register as a sex offender in Iowa for 10 years.
The younger Elwood was originally charged with two counts of third-degree sexual abuse and one count of first-degree kidnapping in connection with a pair of incidents that allegedly occurred in 2012. A fourth charge of indecent exposure was dismissed. In November and December 2012, Kreighton Elwood allegedly abused two girls in separate incidents. In all, five girls have levied complaints against Elwood, with three cases handled in juvenile court.
