Ex-California College Student Deemed Incompetent for Trial in Deadly Stabbing Spree

The judge dismissed jurors in Carlos Dominguez’s competency trial Monday, which would have been the fifth day of testimony after county prosecutors informed the court last week they no longer planned to fight the defense by Dominguez’s attorney that he was not mentally fit for trial.

Dominguez will go to a state hospital when a bed becomes available and once his competency is restored, the criminal trial will resume, said Jonathan Raven, the county’s chief deputy district attorney. They dropped their challenge after hearing new information at trial and the court’s order to initiate involuntary medication proceedings, Raven said.Dominguez had been a third-year student at the University of California, Davis majoring in biological sciences until April 25, when he was expelled. Stabbings near campus began shortly after. He is charged in the deaths of a 50-year-old homeless man and a 20-year-old UC Davis student. A homeless woman who was attacked in her tent survived.
