Court processes continue for an Emporia man accused of attempted second-degree murder and other counts related to an alleged shooting and home invasion robbery from October 2020.
Marcos Diaz has been charged with attempted second-degree murder, intentional, with an alternate count of aggravated battery. He’s also charged with single counts of aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, aggravated child endangerment, contributing to a child’s misconduct and criminal discharge of a weapon as well as two counts of aggravated burglary. Diaz pleaded not guilty to all counts against him during a hearing in April.
Charges against Diaz followed an alleged shooting of one person near Linn and Whildin and a robbery at 9 South Rural in October 2020. Two other defendants have already been sentenced for their involvement. Lance Sutton was sentenced to over 20 years in prison, while Kenneth Hopkins received 29 months.
Following a hearing last week, Diaz now has a status conference coming Aug. 29.
