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.

Migrants were found lost in the desert, tucked under rocks in the mountains, and trapped by the rushing tides of the Rio Grande. Some were experiencing heat exhaustion in 115-degree weather, while others nearly died from hypothermia. In Laredo, Texas, one woman was found falling in and out of consciousness from dehydration. In the Jacumba Mountains of Southern California, a man with a fractured ankle had to be carried out of the impassable terrain in a litter basket. In Arizona, two people were found dead in the desert with the word “HELP” written on the ground nearby.
