CALEXICO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - The Calexico man who was connected to a murder had his first court apperance Monday morning.

47-year-old Agustine Baca III was wanted in the Imperial County in connection to the murder of a woman who was shot on September 10, 2024.

Baca was arrested by the Yuma Police Department and had his first day of court September 23.

Baca was in court Monday for his arraignment after refusing to appear in court last Friday.

The Imperial County District Attorney's Office says Baca waived his time for his preliminary hearing.

"At this time there is not a preliminary hearing scheduled...it's likely because the defense attorney needs time to review the case which is common in first degree murder cases...so they scheduled a premium setting date of October 23rd," said George Marquez, District Attorney for Imperial County.

Baca is currently being held at the Imperial County Jail with no bail.
