OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Florida man set to stand trial for second-degree murder in the fatal July shooting of his father in Omaha reportedly told police his father asked to be shot.
The Omaha World-Herald reports a judge on Wednesday ordered 23-year-old Julian Lopez to stand trial on the murder charge and a weapons count in the July 16 shooting death of 40-year-old Jose Valenzuela.
Lopez, who has schizophrenia, was visiting his father at the time of the shooting.
A detective testified that Lopez told him his father walked into Lopez's bedroom with the gun and told Lopez to shoot him.
