Trial underway for man accused of fatally shooting McAllen Freemason
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The trial for Julio Diaz, accused of fatally shooting Freemason Robert Wise outside the McAllen Masonic Lodge on July 10, 2023, is currently in progress. Despite requests from Diaz's attorney to postpone the trial, the judge denied the motion, citing sufficient preparation time. Prosecutors allege that Diaz targeted Wise due to animosity towards Freemasons. Testimony included that of McAllen arson investigators regarding a 2022 fire at the lodge, as well as Ruben Elizondo, who discovered Wise after the shooting. The defense raised objections to much of the evidence presented. Coverage will continue on Channel 5 News.
