Julio Diaz was arrested for shooting and killing Robert Wise. His trial date has been set for November 6.

The defense asked the judge to use Diaz's medical history as evidence.

"What I would like is an investigator and the authority to obtain records, and then I might file a motion for competency once we get records," defense attorney Lennard Whittaker Molina said.

Diaz is also facing arson charges in a separate case.
