Alleged Murderer to Appear in Court: Cid Torrez, the Miramar man convicted of murdering his wife, will go before a judge Monday for a court-ordered competency hearing. Torrez’s sentencing was delayed earlier this month after he made comments about a witch hunt, and even mentioned President Trump.

Round Table to End Violence: Members of the South Florida faith community are coming together Monday with the hope of ending violence in South Florida. The group will hold a special roundtable discussion to hear reports and demand responses from Miami-Dade County and Miami Gardens police departments, on the progress of gun violence prevention programs.

Forum on Political Parties: Former Presidents, Heads of State and regional leaders will meet Tuesday to discuss the role of political parties in today’s society. The form will take place at Miami-Dade College’s Wolfson Campus. The forum will focus on the role of democracy in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Preview of the Hard Rock’s Rennovations: On Wednesday, NBC  6 will get a first look inside the new Seminole Hard Rock Hotel’s multi-million dollar makeover. The expansion includes an iconic 35 story guitar shaped hotel tower in Hollywood.

Appeal Hearing for Hollywood Hills Rehab Center: A state judge will hear the appeal filed by the rehab center in Hollywood Hills at the center of a deadly post-hurricane power outage on Friday. Governor Scott revoked the center’s license following the incident.

Court Hearing for Escaped Murderer’s Accomplice: Another accomplice of escaped murderer Dayonte Resiles will go before a South Florida judge on Friday. Prosecutors say Paige Lazarya Jackson helped Resiles escape from the Broward courthouse last year, leading to a massive statewide manhunt, before finally capturing him nearly a week later.
