Santa Fe school shooter's trial moved to Fort Bend County
A Galveston County judge granted a change of venue request to Fort Bend County for the man charged with killing 10 people and shooting 13 others at Santa Fe High School.
Dimitrios Pagourtzis is charged with capital murder and aggravated assault of a public servant for the May 18, 2018, shooting.
Pagourtzis’ attorneys requested the change of venue in January, citing “so much prejudice in the community that the likelihood of Pagourtzis receiving a fair and impartial trial is doubtful.”
Pagourtzis wasn't in court today but appeared via a video feed from the Galveston County Jail.
A trial date has been set for Jan. 23, 2020.
