In Idaho, prosecutors will pursue the death penalty if a white supremacist gang member is convicted of murdering an elderly man during a violent escape plot earlier this year.

Nez Perce County Prosecutor Justin Coleman announced the decision, citing the, quote, complete lack of regard for the victim's life. The suspect, 43-year-old Nicholas Umfenauer, is charged in the March killing of 83-year-old Nicholas Umfenauer is charged in the March killing of 83-year-old James Mauney, who disappeared while walking his dogs in Julieta, Idaho. Mauney's body was later found near Leland, miles from where he vanished. Authorities say the murder occurred while Umfenauer and fellow gang members Skylar Mead were fleeing police. Earlier that day, Umfenauer opened fire on corrections officers outside a Boise hospital, aiding Meade's escape. Three officers were wounded, but all survived. The pair then drove north, where Maunee's vehicle was stolen, and later discovered in southern Idaho.

Both men were arrested in Twin Falls. Umfenauer, already serving a life sentence for aiding Meade's escape and assaulting law enforcement, is due in court for arraignment December 12. Meade, also facing a murder charge and potential death penalty, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutor Coleman vowed to seek justice for Mauney, emphasizing the severity of the crime.

With more, here's Sydney Sumner of Crime Online. 37-year-old Roland Jerome Lee is accused of carrying out these stabbings in broad daylight

on November 8th, leaving a trail of violence across a four-block stretch. Court documents reveal Lee is charged with four counts of first-degree assault and one count of fourth-degree assault. Prosecutors say his actions left four victims critically injured, three of whom required emergency treatment at Harborview Medical Center. A fifth victim was treated on the scene and released. The attacks unfolded just after 2 p.m. when witnesses reported a string of random stabbings. According to a police probable cause statement, Lee allegedly approached one man from behind and stabbed him in the back. The suspect then moved on to a street corner where he reportedly attacked three others. Video evidence captures him walking up behind one victim and stabbing them with such force

that the knife was still lodged in their back when police arrived. Officers apprehended Lee nearby, observing what appeared to be blood on his hands and shoes. Two knives were recovered at the scene. Prosecutors are also investigating whether Lee is connected to four additional stabbings in the same area just a day prior, which they describe as strikingly similar in nature. Lee, who remains in custody on $2 million bail, has an extensive criminal history, including nine felony convictions for robbery, car theft, and other crimes. Lee is scheduled for arraignment on November 27th. Thanks, John. Sherry Moody lives alone in Shreveport, Louisiana, raising three young boys. She puts all three to bed, tells them she loves
