An Edinburg man who was indicted in connection with a July crash that killed one woman is set to face a judge.

Luis Antonio Garza, 26, was indicted on charges of murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in August, court records show. He is expected to be arraigned on those charges on Monday.

Garza has been in custody since the July 14 crash where authorities said he intentionally ran over two people in rural Edinburg, killing 20-year-old Briseida Cobarrubias.

Garza remains jailed on a $1 million bond.
