Ezekiel Barajas pleaded not guilty to capital murder in the deaths of Nancy Winn and Gerald Winn.

Ezekiel Barajas, on the Nov. 4 story, Ezekiel William Barajas, in the Jan. 18 body and the April 10 body, and William Ezekiel Barajas, in the April 10 caption, are not the same name. Charged with murder, in the Jan. 18 headline, and capital murder of multiple persons, in that story's body, are not the same charge line. Life imprisonment, on the April 10 story, and life in prison without the possibility of parole, on the Nov. 4 story, are not the same punishment line. A not-guilty plea is the Wednesday hearing. It is not a verdict.

KBTX, by Alex Weister, published Nov. 4, 2026, at 8:55 p.m. CST, on a page whose update line read "17 hours ago" and did not print an absolute clock, reported Ezekiel Barajas is charged with capital murder of multiple persons connected to the shooting deaths of his mother, 52-year-old Nancy Winn, and his stepfather, 61-year-old Gerald Winn. It reported that Wednesday in the 361st District Court in Brazos County, he entered a plea of not guilty. Wednesday is Nov. 4, 2026, the day on the publish clock. The page does not print a middle name, an age, a bond, a street, or a lawyer. It reported that around 5 p.m. on January 17th, police say Nancy Winn called 911, saying Barajas shot her and her husband while they were eating, that police arrived 15 minutes later, and that both were rushed to the hospital, where they died from their injuries. Around 5 p.m., and 15 minutes later, are that page's clocks. It reported a motive for the shooting is still unknown. It reported that an hour later, police found and arrested Barajas in the drive-thru of Raising Cane's on Briarcrest Drive. An hour later is the arrest interval on that page. It does not print a car, a second agency, or a weapon. It reported that in April he completed a competency evaluation and was deemed competent to stand trial. It reported the death penalty is on the table, but the prosecution hasn't decided whether they'll pursue it. It reported he has a status hearing set for Dec. 2, and prosecutor Kevin Capps says they may have the death penalty decision by then. It reported the only punishments for the capital murder in Texas are the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

KBTX's Jan. 18, 2026, story, by Rusty Surette, published at 9:51 a.m. CST and updated at 12:13 p.m. CST, headlined that a Bryan man was charged with murder. The body reported deputies say Ezekiel William Barajas, who turned 32 on Friday, shot his mother, Nancy Winn, 52, multiple times, along with his stepfather, Gerald "Jerry" Winn, 61. Ezekiel William Barajas, on that page, and Ezekiel Barajas, on the Nov. 4 story, are not the same fullness of the name. Charged with murder, in the headline, and charged with Capital Murder of Multiple Persons, in the body, are not the same charge line, and they are on the same page. Turned 32 on Friday is on Jan. 18. The Nov. 4 story does not print an age. Multiple times is on Jan. 18. It is not on the Nov. 4 story. Jerry, in quotation marks, is on Jan. 18. The Nov. 4 story says Gerald Winn and, in the 911 sentence, her husband. It reported deputies were dispatched just after 5 p.m. to the couple's home in the 6300 block of Steep Hollow Circle, off FM 1179 on the east side of Brazos County, after a 911 call from Nancy Winn. Just after 5 p.m., on Jan. 18, and around 5 p.m., on Nov. 4, are not the same clock. The 6300 block of Steep Hollow Circle is on Jan. 18. It is not on the Nov. 4 story. It reported she told dispatchers she had been shot and identified her son, Ezekiel, as the shooter, that he did not live at the residence, and that she did not know where he went. It reported an arrest report said she and her husband were eating when Ezekiel shot both of them, that there was no argument or physical altercation, and that she did not know why. It reported she placed the 911 call from a locked bedroom at the back of the home. No argument, and a locked bedroom, are on Jan. 18. They are not on the Nov. 4 story. It reported that about 15 minutes after the 911 call, first responders found Nancy in the bedroom and Jerry in the hallway, and that both were rushed to a hospital, where they later died. Nancy in the bedroom and Jerry in the hallway, on Jan. 18, and both rushed to the hospital, on Nov. 4, with no rooms named, are not the same entry line. It reported that less than an hour after the shooting, around 6 p.m., Bryan police located him in a Honda Accord in the drive-thru of Raising Cane's on Briarcrest Drive, and that he was detained by Bryan police and DPS troopers until Brazos County deputies arrived. Less than an hour, around 6 p.m., on Jan. 18, an hour later, on Nov. 4, and an hour after the murders, in the Jan. 18 subhead, are not the same interval. The Honda Accord and DPS are on Jan. 18. They are not on the Nov. 4 story. It reported he declined to answer questions and did not provide a motive, and that deputies reported the suspected murder weapon was recovered from the vehicle. Declined to answer, and a suspected murder weapon, are on Jan. 18. The Nov. 4 story says a motive is still unknown and does not print a weapon. It reported he is being held in jail and is charged with Capital Murder of Multiple Persons, with a bond set at $500,000. The Nov. 4 plea story does not print a bond. It reported online jail records show one other arrest, in 2018, for criminal trespass, and that the case was dismissed. The 2018 case is on Jan. 18. It is not on the Nov. 4 story. What she told dispatchers, and what deputies say, are the accounts those stories attribute. They are not a verdict.

KBTX's April 10, 2026, story, by Jonathan Polasek, published at 9:39 a.m. CDT, reported a Brazos County grand jury indicted him. The caption says William Ezekiel Barajas faces a capital murder of multiple persons charge, a capital felony. The body says Ezekiel William Barajas faces that charge. William Ezekiel, in the caption, and Ezekiel William, in the body, are not the same order, and they are on the same page. Indicted, on April 10, and pleaded not guilty, on Nov. 4, are not the same hearing. It reported prosecutors believe he shot and killed his mother, Nancy Winn, and his stepfather, Gerald "Jerry" Winn, on January 17, 2026. Prosecutors believe, on April 10, deputies say, on Jan. 18, and police say she told 911, on Nov. 4, are not the same attribution. January 17, 2026, on April 10, January 17th, on Nov. 4, and Saturday, on Jan. 18, are not the same date line. It reported that in Texas, capital murder is punishable by death or life imprisonment. Life imprisonment, on April 10, and life in prison without the possibility of parole, on Nov. 4, are not the same punishment line. April 10 does not print Kevin Capps, a Dec. 2 status hearing, or a line that the prosecution has not decided. The competency evaluation the Nov. 4 story places in April is not a sentence on the April 10 indictment story. An evaluation and an indictment are not the same April event. It reported he is still at the Brazos County Jail on a $500,000 bond. Still on a $500,000 bond, on April 10, and a bond set at $500,000, on Jan. 18, are not the same tense. The Nov. 4 plea story does not print a bond. Its silence is not a new figure. A not-guilty plea is what KBTX reported from Wednesday's hearing. It is not a verdict. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
