· 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, who allegedly killed 71-year-old Vahid Khaledi in May 2024, appeared in court on Monday. Previously deemed incompetent for trial, a doctor has now indicated that Paz has regained his competency. The judge is expected to make a ruling in September regarding his trial readiness. Paz's attorneys mentioned they still need to submit motions. If found competent, the case will proceed to a jury trial.
