WOODLAND — The 13-year-old boy charged with killing two people in a Woodland crash remains in custody after his attorney sought a delay of his detention hearing Thursday.

Vital, 43, and 4-year-old Adalina Perez, as well as the teen suspect's family, packed the Woodland courtroom for the scheduled hearing, which would determine whether the boy should be allowed to return home during his pending court case. His multiple felony charges include two counts of murder.

Defense attorney Martina Avalos said she wasn’t prepared to proceed, however, saying she’d received scant discovery from the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office, and that the documents she did obtain contained “inconsistent statements” regarding the April 8 crash.

Woodland police said the teen, driving a car stolen from his parents, struck two other vehicles at Court
