Trial underway for man accused of fatally shooting McAllen Freemason
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The murder trial of Julio Diaz began in McAllen, with testimony from Josefina Sanchez, the widow of Robert Wise, who was fatally shot outside a Freemason lodge. Sanchez recounted how Wise had invited family to his installation as a junior deacon in July 2023, promising to return home shortly after the ceremony. Instead, she received a call informing her of his tragic death. Prosecutors allege Diaz targeted Wise due to his animosity towards Freemasons, presenting evidence including surveillance footage and a blood-stained jacket. The trial continues with 19 witnesses called by the state, while the defense challenges the evidence.
