The Nez Perce County Prosecutor's Office is seeking the death penalty against Nicholas Umphenour, the man accused of killing someone while on the run from an Idaho prison earlier this year.

Umphenour and Skylar Meade, the Boise inmate, are accused of killing Mauney while they were on the run from authorities following an incident in Boise.

Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty against one of the men involved in the ambush at a Saint Alphonsus hospital in Boise earlier this year if he’s found guilty of the first-degree murder of a North Idaho man, according to a news release from the Nez Perce County Prosecutor’s Office and online court records.

Nicholas Umphenour, the man accused of helping his co-defendant escape from prison will now face the death penalty. Umphenour is accused of helping Skylar Meade escape from jail in Boise while Meade was receiving care at a local hospital.

In March, Skylar Meade, an Idaho man serving a minimum 10-year prison sentence at the state’s maximum security prison, and co-conspirator Nicholas Umphenour led what police called a “brazen” and “violent” attack at the Boise hospital to coordinate Meade’s escape from custody. The incident left three correctional officers injured.
