A full day of jury selection wasn’t enough to finish seating a jury in a high-profile murder trial, two years after a killing in Rancho Peñasquitos.

Jury selection is underway in the Rancho Peñasquitos condo killing trial. NBC 7 Investigates' Alexis Rivas reports on July 16, 2024.

Attorneys then started the voir dire. That’s the process where the court and attorneys on both sides question potential jurors about biases they may have. The goal is to put together a jury that will be impartial. The defense finished its questioning of the remaining potential jurors, but time ran out for the day before the prosecution could do the same.

Police dispatch records show that around 7 p.m. on June 14, 2022, Dadkhah's neighbors began calling 911. They begged police to get there quickly, reporting that a belligerent man was trying to break into a woman’s condo. Initially, the call wasn’t prioritized. About an hour later, callers had new information to tell dispatchers: that man had scaled a wall to her second-floor balcony and smashed his way inside through a sliding glass door.
