Murillo Waives to District Court

Ofelia Murillo

Author: File photo

Ofelia Murillo appeared in New River Justice Court before Judge Benjamin Trotter on Thursday, November 4 for a preliminary hearing. Murillo, currently in the custody of the Churchill County Jail, was arraigned last November 2020, on first-degree murder and other charges relating to the shooting death of her ex-husband, Caesar Alvarado Jauregui, on September 23, 2020.  

Murillo’s defense attorney, David R. Houston, Esq., on behalf of Murillo, appeared with his client for a preliminary hearing. However, before the proceeding commenced, Murillo exercised her right to have the case heard in District Court, as is commonplace in high-profile cases where serious felony charges exist. All future hearings for Murillo will be heard in the Churchill County Tenth Judicial District Court, likely before Judge Thomas Stockard.  

Murillo is potentially facing the death penalty.
