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.
