Federal officials announced today that three men were indicted for roles in fraud and racketeering schemes that involved the attempted capital murder of 390th District Judge Julie Kocurek of Austin. But the 11-count indictment doesn’t include the charge of attempted capital murder, which would have to be filed in state district court rather than federal court.

Chimene Hamilton Onyeri of Houston—whom police identified as a suspect last year—and two others, Marcellus Antoine Burgin of Cypress, Texas and Rasul Kareem Scott of Marrero, Louisiana, all face charges of: conspiracy to participate in an enterprise engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity; conspiracy to commit wire fraud; and aggravated identity theft. Onyeri also faces a charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
