LAS VEGAS — A man accused of stabbing eight people on the Las Vegas Strip, killing two, was found incompetent to face charges during a court hearing Friday.
District Judge Christy Craig said two state psychiatrists found that 32-year-old Yoni Barrios was unable to understand court proceedings or stand trial. He was ordered to be sent to a state psychiatric hospital until he is deemed competent to face charges in connection with the Oct. 6 attack outside Wynn Las Vegas.
Barrios did not appear in court on Friday because, the judge said, he refused to be transported from the Clark County Detention Center.
