For more three years, two families have waited for the man who authorities believe killed their loved ones to face trial for their deaths.

But the case has been stalled from the onset — the accused killer, Brandon Beau Warren, had been deemed not competent in an unrelated case just weeks before prosecutors filed murder charges against him in October 2016.

This week, a judge ruled that Warren is now competent to proceed with the case, where he is facing first-degree felony murder charges for allegedly killing Stevan Chambers and Shelli Marie Brown in separate shootings in 2015.
