Good morning, Bellevue.

Josephine Baker, a 26-year-old charged with second-degree murder, using a weapon to commit a crime, first-degree arson and domestic assault in the death of 43-year-old Jeffrey Hettinger, was denied bond in court Wednesday morning—police said she was inside a home near 28th and Kansas Avenue when officers answered a domestic disturbance call.

Di'Quarius Merritt, the suspect wanted for first-degree assault in an August shooting at Family Dollar near 25th and Chandler, was arrested in Texas & extradited to Sarpy County as Bellevue police confirmed.

At UNMC, nearly 46 percent of graduating medical students stayed in Nebraska on match day March 21, a five-percent increase from last year that may help ease the doctor shortage—especially in rural communities.

Students such as Trey Bokoskie matched with family medicine residencies in their hometowns to serve local needs.

Today a major construction project on I-80 will reduce lanes from Q to 144th and cause significant delays in La Vista—traffic will be affected as a new westbound lane and a 144th Street exit are built, with the I-80 westbound exit ramp to Highway 50 remaining closed until 6 a.m. Overnight work has already begun and the project will conclude in Fall.
