The court proceedings on August 1, 2025, in the 187th District Court, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd, focused on the case of the State versus Cepedes. Key testimonies were presented regarding an incident involving the defendant and the alleged victim.

During the testimony, the victim recounted the events leading up to the altercation. The victim confirmed that their phone was taken away during the incident, specifying that it was a Samsung device, likely equipped with a data plan. The victim also mentioned that the defendant approached from behind before allegedly striking them in the eye.

A notable point of discussion was the defendant's jewelry. The victim testified that the defendant was wearing multiple gold rings at the time of the incident. When questioned about the exact number of rings, the victim acknowledged uncertainty, stating they could not differentiate between one ring and several.

The proceedings highlighted the importance of these details in establishing the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault. As the case continues, the court will further examine the evidence and testimonies presented to determine the outcome.
