404th District Court Judge Elia Cornejo-Lopez sent the jury home for the weekend after they asked for the transcripts of the testimony of Monica Robles, the woman over who prosecutors say Gonzalez shot Reyes, a fellow corrections officer.

The shooting June 4, 2014 in Brownsville. touched off and eight-hour standoff with authorities.
Prosecutors say Gonzalez shot and killed Reyes at the home of Monica Robles, his ex-girlfriend, on the 200 block of Orchid Path. During the standoff between Gonzalez and local authorities which lasted for hours, Gonzalez kept Robles captive at gunpoint while the body of Reyes was in the house.
Gonzalez was first tried on a capital murder charge for Reyes’ death in June 2015, but that ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to reach a consensus in the verdict.
Representing the defendant is local attorney Ernesto Gamez and his daughter Erin.
The lead counsel for the prosecution is Asst. DA Peter Gilman.
Gonzalez, who testified on his own behalf, told the jury that on the morning of June 4, 2014, he had called Robles because he planned to drop off a .223 Bushmaster rifle she had given him as a Christmas present at her home.
The woman said she told Gonzalez not to go to her home and he insisted on going there.
