Ex-California college student accused of fatal stabbings deemed competent to stand trial
- Former UC Davis student Carlos Reales Dominguez, accused of stabbing two people to death and injuring another, has been found competent to stand trial.
- Dominguez, a former third-year biological sciences major, was expelled on April 25 prior to the stabbings that occurred near the UC Davis campus.
- He is charged in the deaths of a 50-year-old homeless man and a 20-year-old UC Davis student, while a homeless woman survived the attack.
A former college student accused of stabbing two people to death and wounding a third in Northern California was found competent to stand trial, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Carlos Reales Dominguez will return to court on Jan. 5 and criminal proceedings will be reinstated if there isn’t any challenge to his mental state, according to Yolo County assistant chief deputy district attorney Melinda Aiello, the Sacramento Bee reported.
Dominguez had been a third-year student at the University of California, Davis majoring in biological sciences until April 25, when he was expelled for academic reasons.
CALIFORNIA POLICE ARREST FORMER UC DAVIS STUDENT AFTER STRING OF DEADLY STABBINGS
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.

The attacks terrified the community. Businesses closed early, and some students were too scared to attend even daytime classes as their parents pleaded with them to return home.
Dominguez was arrested May 4, a week after the first body was found, near the location of the second attack. He later blurted out at a court hearing that he was guilty and wanted to apologize.
FORMER UC DAVIS STUDENT CHARGED IN FATAL STABBINGS PLEADS NOT GUILTY
The case was put on hold in August after prosecutors agreed Dominguez wasn’t mentally capable of taking part in criminal proceedings. Three medical experts testified he was schizophrenic, and a judge ordered him to receive medication over his objections.
Dominguez was sent to the state hospital in Atascadero until he was found competent to understand court proceedings and take part in his defense.
A doctor there submitted a Dec. 20 report declaring him competent, Aiello said.

‘Do you care more about the kids or the drug addicts?’: Jake calls out Seattle for potential homeless shelters near schools – MyNorthwest.com
After the Seattle City Council moved forward with legislation that would expand temporary homeless shelters without buffer zones near schools, KIRO host Jake Skorheim questioned who the city really cares about.
Jake wondered aloud about what goes on in a Seattle City Council member’s head, assuming they even read the proposal.
“They see the thing, they go like, ‘Well, what do we think about this one here, about school zones?’ They’re like, ‘I don’t know about that. Let’s scratch that out. We can have homeless people around school zones, drug addicts, people who are trying to get their fix,’” he said on “The Jake and Spike Show” on KIRO Newsradio.
Seattle legislation would increase shelter capacity by 50%
If approved, the legislation would let temporary shelter sites, including tiny home villages, RV safe lots, and tent encampments, increase capacity by 50%, raising the maximum from 100 to 150 residents.
Approved amendments would require sites with more than 100 beds to maintain public safety plans and around-the-clock staffing. Another amendment would require shelters to establish agreements with surrounding neighborhoods outlining expectations for resident behavior and site management. A final amendment mandates at least one manager for every 15 high-needs residents.
Still, several nonprofits urged council members to pass the bill without amendments, arguing the added restrictions could slow resources to people experiencing homelessness and further stigmatize them.
Jake had a question for city leaders: “Who do you care more about? You care more about the kids or the homeless drug addicts?”
