Next up for Jordy Cornejo-Campoverde is a status hearing as his court proceedings unfold as connected to the murder of Jesus Avila nearly six years ago.
Following a review hearing Thursday, a status hearing was announced for 4:30 pm Aug. 22. Judge Lee Fowler will preside.
Cornejo-Campoverde is among six defendants in Avila’s shooting death from September 2017 — and four who have not been sentenced. Cornejo-Campoverde, along with Alan Alanis, Andrew Granado and Jovan Pecina, are still charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, arson and other counts in the case.
The Cornejo-Campoverde status hearing will immediately follow separate hearings for Alanis, Grando and Pecina on Aug. 21. All three are listed as having plea hearings that morning.
The hearings also follow Wednesday’s sentencing of Samuel Garcia to over 51 years in prison for second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. The individual sentences will be served concurrently, but the package won’t start until Garcia fully serves a seven-year sentence for conspiracy to commit aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery after an incident in 2017 after Avila was murdered.
Another co-defendant, Armando Nunez, is serving almost four years in prison on lesser charges, including attempted burglary of a vehicle, interference with law enforcement and criminal damage.
