MINNEAPOLIS – The man accused of stabbing a grocery store clerk to death with a broken golf club last month is mentally incompetent, a court-hired psychologist reported. The judicial officer in the case, Danielle Mercurio, accepted the report. Next for the defendant, Taylor Justin Schulz, 44, is a hearing scheduled for July. Typical in such cases is a civil commitment for mental illness. Meanwhile, Schulz remained in jail in lieu of $1 million bail. Schulz was diagnosed earlier with schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder as a military veteran. In 2021 he was civilly committed for six months after a doctor called him at an “unacceptably high risk of further psychiatric deterioration.”
