One of the five suspects accused of killing a 14-year-old Sobrato High School student in a drive-by shooting in November 2011 will face a hearing to determine if he is mentally competent to stand trail for the crime.
The suspect in the kidnapping and murder of missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar waived his right to appear in court again today as his plea hearing was continued to Oct. 30.
Friends and family of Tara Romero, the Sobrato High School freshman who was killed in a drive-by shooting in Morgan Hill Nov. 4, 2011, have created a nonprofit called “Everyone’s Child, the Tara Romero Youth Empowerment Project,” to raise money for a public art project in honor of Romero and other fallen teens in the community.
In an effort to encourage more people to help search for missing 15-year-old Sierra LaMar, Morgan Hill filmmaker Brian Garcia recently produced a two-part documentary highlighting the volunteer search efforts.
No volunteer search efforts to find missing teen Sierra LaMar are scheduled for Wednesday due to the Independence Day holiday, according to her family.
