Good morning, Nampa.

A bus crash in Oregon claimed the life of Kiley Nevaeh Jones, a 19-year-old college student from Nampa who was traveling with her softball team on Friday night—leaving her family to mourn her loss.

Kiley Nevaeh Jones, a 19-year-old from Nampa, and her coach died Friday night when their softball team's bus was hit by a vehicle on an Oregon road while returning from a game in Coos Bay and Oregon State Police said the crash was caused by alcohol-impaired driving.

A 25-year-old Nampa man — Isaac Augustin Santoyo — was sentenced to 97 months in federal prison for seven drug trafficking charges including selling cocaine and firearm possession, and he will serve five years of supervised release with fines of $9,900.

At the College of Western Idaho, students are learning to use drone technology in fields like agriculture and mapping so they can meet new job demands.

The course covers different drone sizes that help save time and money in precise tasks — a skill that prepares graduates for a changing industry.

Local law enforcement agencies honored Tobin Bolter on the one-year anniversary of his death in April 2024 by wearing black bands on their badges on Monday — a sign of respect for his sacrifice.

Officers will wear mourning bands on May 8 when his name is added to the Idaho Peace Officer Memorial Wall.

Nampa will build a roundabout at the busy intersection next to the Amalgamated Sugar factory to ease traffic — officials expect final design plans to be approved soon.
