Good morning, Jefferson City.

Sergio Sayles, 39, charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, tampering with physical evidence, and stalking for the April 2023 death of Jasmine King, filed to represent himself and seek a jury trial even after the state removed the death penalty option for a bench trial in April—his trial is scheduled to begin November 3 with a pre-trial conference on October 6.

E&C Bridge LLC finished work on the Highway 54 tri-level bridge over Missouri Boulevard ahead of schedule Wednesday night, and MoDOT said the $5.3 million project was completed sooner than expected.

The state added that with work on seven bridges now done, crews will continue projects on the Neighorn Branch bridge and a Highway 50 lane narrowing until early October — reducing ongoing traffic impacts in Jefferson City.

Yesterday at noon, Gov. Mike Kehoe’s special session held its first redistricting committee meeting in Jefferson City where public testimony on House Bill 1 was heard before the committee went into executive session—committee chair Richard West said.

The meeting proceeded despite NAACP efforts to block the session with a restraining order and included discussions on congressional map proposals and initiative petition reform.

The Capital City Lady Cavaliers swept the Jefferson City Lady Jays 9-0 in a dual match at Capital City High School—winning all doubles matches without dropping a game and losing just three games in six singles contests.
