Once again a violent deplorable crime has been committed in Houston and the suspect authorities believe is responsible for said crime was currently out on bond for another crime.
Nobody is surprised. This happens a lot in Harris County, Texas.
The man accused of killing a Houston police sergeant is now in custody and a person of interest remains on the run.
Robert Soliz, 24, was arrested Tuesday 24 hours after the shooting death of Sgt. Sean Rios. He was arrested during a traffic stop on the Katy Freeway around 3:15 p.m.
During a news briefing, HPD Chief Art Acevedo released new surveillance video showing the person of interest.
The video, which was shown twice during the briefing, shows a man wearing a dark-colored T-shirt engaged in a conversation with Soliz. The two were seen standing next to a black pickup truck. The video later shows the truck driving off.
According to court records obtained by Eyewitness News, Soliz, who was placed in the handcuffs once belonging to Rios, was out on bond for unlawfully carrying a weapon in a motor vehicle on Feb. 15 when he was arrested.
He was given a $100 bail for that charge. In 2017, Soliz was accused of threatening his girlfriend at the time with murder.
