Overview
- Carlos Reales Dominguez, a former UC Davis student, has been found competent to stand trial for the stabbing deaths of two people and injuring another.
- Dominguez was expelled from UC Davis for academic reasons on April 25, and the stabbings near campus began shortly after.
- The victims include a 50-year-old homeless man and a 20-year-old UC Davis student; a homeless woman survived the attack.
- The case was put on hold in August after Dominguez was deemed mentally incapable of participating in criminal proceedings, but a recent report declared him competent.
- Dominguez will return to court on January 5, and criminal proceedings will be reinstated if there is no challenge to his mental state.
