BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A man charged in the 2010 killings of three people in their home has been determined mentally competent to stand trial.
Tokunbo Okuwoga, 28, is charged with the murders of then 22-year-old Felipe Bravo Junior, his father Felipe senior, and Felipe Junior's girlfriend, Daina Caraveo.
Okuwoga was committed to a term of no more than three years at Atascadero State Hospital last September.
Court records indicated Okuwoga and Bravo Jr. robbed a home together in September of 2010 and Bravo agreed to testify against Okuwoga in the case. Police said Okuwoga shot Bravo to keep that from happening. Okuwoga had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty if Okuwoga is convicted. He is scheduled to return to court Monday. That's when a new trial date is scheduled to be set.
