Judge to decide if Brownsville library shooting suspect is competent to stand trial
A Cameron County judge is set to decide whether the man accused in a deadly Brownsville library shooting will go to trial.
Humberto Paz was in court Monday morning. He is accused of shooting and killing a 71-year-old Vahid Khaledi inside the Brownsville Public Library in May 2024.
A year ago, Paz was found incompetent to stand trial, but in court, a judge said Paz has regained competency, according to a doctor.

The judge is set to decide in September on whether Paz is competent to stand trial.
Attorneys for Paz told the court they still need to file motions. If Paz is found competent, then a jury trial will move forward.
