The second of three defendants in a murder case dating back to November 2018 showed up to the 111th District Court for a motion hearing.
In May, Hector Rivera Jr. filed a motion on specific or missing discovery for the extraction of an iPhone by the Laredo Police Department and its agents, according to the court docket. It states that 111th District Court Judge Monica Zapata Notzon denied the motion on Thursday.
Rivera, Victor Sauceda and Norberto Adame-Rivera were each charged with murder and aggravated assault in connection to a double shooting that left Jose Jesus Martinez, 24, dead and Lester Julian Castro Jr., 25, wounded.

Three murder cases and two capital murder cases will be in the Webb County courts this week.
On Tuesday, Adolfo Villalobos is scheduled for a status hearing in the 406th District Court. Villalobos was indicted in October 2016 for the death of Vicente De La Rosa and the assault of Lauro De La Rosa.
On April 6, 2014, the Laredo Police Department said it responded to a report of a shooting at about 2:30 a.m. in the 2900 block of Chestnut Street, located off South Ejido Avenue.
Police said they arrived at the scene and found one man dead in the front passenger seat of a sport utility vehicle. He was identified as Vicente De La Rosa.
OLYMPIA, Wash. â As Americans last year debated the elections, Victor Sauceda endured tough conversations with friends and others talking about their votes.
Sauceda, 31, was released from prison in October 2019, he said, after serving time for felony convictions â meaning he couldnât vote last November.
âI just feel that shame that goes along with it, telling them I could not vote,â said Sauceda. âI felt like I was not good enough to vote.â
That dynamic changed Wednesday as Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill restoring the right to vote for Washingtonians convicted of felonies, automatically upon their release from incarceration.
Under House Bill 1078, roughly 20,000 people would regain their right to vote, according to the state Department of Corrections (DOC).
