Judge to decide if Brownsville library shooting suspect is competent to stand trial
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A Cameron County judge will determine if Humberto Paz, accused of a fatal shooting at the Brownsville Public Library, is competent to stand trial. Paz appeared in court on Monday, where a doctor indicated he has regained competency after previously being ruled incompetent. The shooting, which resulted in the death of 71-year-old Vahid Khaledi, occurred in May 2024. The judge is expected to make a ruling in September, but Paz's attorneys mentioned they still need to file additional motions. If deemed competent, the case will proceed to a jury trial.
