Seven murder cases are scheduled to appear in the Webb County district courts this week.
After resetting plea hearings six times, the man accused of stabbing his mother when he was 16 years old in 2012 is scheduled for a plea hearing in the 406th District Court.
In August, Jorge Rene Velasco Jr.’s attorney Oscar O. Pena said he and the prosecutor, Joshua Davila, are “very close to working this case out.”
Due to COVID, it was hard for them to get together and negotiate, he said.
Velasco was detained in January 2012 after Laredo police responded to reports of a domestic disturbance at a home in the 4100 block of Declaration Drive in the Independence Hills neighborhood. His mother, Martha Velasco, 48, was found with multiple stab wounds in the kitchen area. She was later pronounced dead.

SAN ANTONIO An immediate demolition job was ordered for the damaged remains of a home that exploded Saturday night in east San Antonio.
Fire investigators said the structure, near the corner of Walters and Martin Luther King Drive was so dangerous, they couldn’t fully extinguish the resulting fire until the structure was razed.
Heavy equipment arrived on scene just 12 hours after a blast, believed to be caused by a build up of natural gas, blasted the old wooden structure and shook neighbors out of their sleep.
