Motion hearing underway for former Border Patrol agent accused of killing woman and child

LAREDO, TX. (KGNS) - A total of 17 motions were filed by defense team of the former Border Patrol agent accused of killing a woman and her child.

On Wednesday morning, Ronald Anthony Burgos Aviles stood before a judge as his defense team discussed the motions they filed in relation to the case.

Two of the motions mentioned during the hearing was reducing the impact videos relating to the victims to be played for only three minutes and another motion was to omit an explicit conversation between Burgos and another woman

It’s unclear at this time if those motions were passed due to a gag order in place which prevents anyone involved from talking about the case.

Burgos is accused of killing Grizelda Hernandez and her son Dominick.

Their bodies were found at a north Laredo park back in 2018

Jury selection is set for May 1 and the trial is expected to start in June.
