Trial Underway For Murder At Downtown Bus Stop

A m*rder trial is underway for the suspect in a m*rder at a downtown bus stop last year. Joseph Harris is accused of fatally shooting 21-year-old Isaiah Orozco more than a dozen times in the back and in the head.

We spoke with Isaiah’s mother Wednesday after the jury was selected and she is thankful the trial is moving forward, calling Isaiah’s m*rder senseless.

Back in February 2022, Orozco was shot, and ki!!ed at a bus stop off South Saint Mary’s and initial reports say two men pointed guns at each other, but Orozco’s mother says that didn’t happen. Isaiah’s mother, Connie Esparza, says Isaiah was shot 14 times in the back and in the head.
