IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) – The defendants accused of murdering a man in Salton City made another court appearance Thursday.
Four people are charged in connection with the murder of 34-year-old Pedro Montes Jr. back in May.
The hearing was rescheduled due to evidence that has not been turned over to the defense, including an autopsy report.
55-year-old Andrew Gallegos was charged with first-degree murder for allegedly shooting Montes to death, and is being held on a $1 million bail.
57-year-old Robert Gallegos, 37-year-old Crystal Hernandez and 53-year-old Blanca Robles are charged with accessory after the fact for allegedly attempting to destroy evidence.
The preliminary hearing was rescheduled to July 30, with a bail hearing for Andrew Gallegos set for July 7.
