Accused Davis serial stabber confesses and deemed mentally unfit for trial.

Carlos Dominguez, the suspected Davis serial killer charged with two counts of murder and attempted murder, admitted guilt during a hearing discussing the results of his psychiatric evaluation. However, the criminal proceedings are on hold until a jury determines if he is mentally competent to stand trial. A court-appointed doctor found Dominguez to be incompetent, but prosecutors dispute it. A trial to decide on his mental health is set for July 24. If found competent, the criminal proceedings will continue, and if not, he will likely be sent to a state hospital for treatment.

While some students are glad to be getting back to normal, others are hesitant to attend night classes. Most students want more safety measures on campus, including better lighting and night patrols.

Davis stabbing suspect pleads not guilty in court.

Former UC Davis student Carlos Dominguez pleaded not guilty to two murder charges and one attempted murder charge in connection with three stabbings near the campus within the span of five days, leaving two people dead and one in critical condition.

The stabbings have left the community in fear, with officials ramping up security measures and urging students to be ultra-vigilant. Dominguez was a third-year student at the university until April 25, when he was “separated for academic reasons,” UC Davis said in a news release.

Carlos Dominguez is set to be arraigned today at 1:30 p.m. in Woodland.
