DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) - One of two men accused of killing another man in northeast Nebraska’s Dakota County has been found mentally incompetent to stand trial.

The Sioux City Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2pAf78C ) that a judge on Wednesday ruled that Andres Surber will not stand trial, based on a state psychiatrist’s report.

Authorities say Surber and Brayan Galvan-Hernandez, both of Wakefield, shot to death 41-year-old Kraig Kubik, of Emerson.

Parts of Kubik’s body were found in a car and in a creek. Authorities say Surber and Galvan-Hernandez had gone to Kubik’s home Nov. 1 and demanded that he give them a car that once belonged to Surber.

Galvan-Hernandez has pleaded not guilty to murder and related charges.
