Good morning, Edinburg.

A 23-year-old Edinburg man charged with capital murder was taken back into custody after he missed his April 16 court hearing—his bond was revoked and he now faces charges including aggravated robbery and organized criminal activity while being held without bond.

Elsa police, SWAT and CID executed a coordinated raid that seized over 16 pounds of THC-infused marijuana—along with synthetic drugs, Xanax and cash—and detained three individuals as investigators work to dismantle a suspected drug network.

A South Texas doctor, Jorge Zamora Quezada, was sentenced to ten years in federal prison after his conviction for healthcare fraud at his Edinburg clinic in 2020, where he misdiagnosed thousands of patients and collected millions from fraudulent claims—leaving many with serious side effects like strokes, liver damage and debilitating pain.

The Edinburg CISD board placed Superintendent Dr. Mario Salinas on unpaid leave for five days after community members raised concerns about a potential gun threat and mold issues in school facilities—leading to calls for stronger security measures.

The board will review safety protocols and facility conditions to restore public trust in the district.

Edinburg is hosting a Memorial Day Commemorative Ceremony today at 10 a.m. at the Municipal Auditorium (200 N.
