Jurors were sent home Monday afternoon after the defense rested their case in the murder trial of a man accused of killing a Harlingen attorney.

Salomon Campos Jr. is on trial in connection with the death of his uncle, attorney Ernesto "El Gallito" Gonzales.

Authorities say Gonzales was kidnapped and shot. He was reported missing in June 2017 after filing a temporary protective order against some of his family members.
