Good morning, Yuma.

45-year-old Alfredo Enriquez Flores had his plea deal rejected Thursday morning by Judge Roger Nelson, who said his lack of remorse impacted the judge's decision—now Flores faces charges including second-degree murder and driving under the influence and will return to court next month.

A Yuma house party shooting suspect, 21-year-old Abraham Colin, faces two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the deaths of 19-year-old Danny Garcia and 20-year-old Ande Blackthunder after his request for a venue change was denied by Judge Claudia Gonzalez; his trial will begin August 5 and is expected to last four weeks.

A back-to-school rodeo will be held on July 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Yuma Civic Center for students from kindergarten through 8th grade.

The first 2,000 students to attend will receive a free backpack filled with school supplies — additional supplies will be available at interactive booths.

Yuma County Board of Supervisors approved new waste tire disposal tipping fees to help cover rising disposal costs and align with statewide increases from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality.
