A jury was expected to be selected in a trial for Juan Antonio Reyes this week, but the case was dismissed by the District Attorney’s Office, according to online court records, due to insufficient evidence. Reyes and his co-defendant, John Bishop Torres, are accused of fatally shooting two of Reyes’ relatives in 2022 and setting their home on fire.
