HOUSTON - Oscar Rosales, the suspect wanted in the deadly shooting of Harris County Pct. 5 Constable’s Office Corporal Charles Galloway, was arrested in Mexico, authorities confirm.
The U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitive Task Force, in conjunction with Mexican authorities, arrested Rosales without incident in Ciudad Acuña, which is located on the border with Del Rio, Texas.
Houston police say they are working with law enforcement partners to begin the process of returning Rosales to Harris County. Rosales, 51, is facing a capital murder charge.
Authorities say Corporal Galloway, 47, was shot and killed on Sunday morning in southwest Houston while attempting to conduct a traffic stop. The deadly shooting occurred around 12:45 a.m. in the 9100 block of Beechnut.
According to the constable’s office, the driver exited the vehicle and fired repeatedly at Corporal Galloway’s patrol car.
Corporal Galloway was struck multiple times, and he died at the scene.
Corporal Galloway joined Pct. 5 in 2009. He most recently served in the Toll Road Division, where he served as a Field Training Officer.
During a news conference on Monday, Houston police identified Rosales as the suspect wanted for the deadly shooting of Corporal Galloway.
Houston Police Chief Troy Finner called on "everybody to get into the fight of finding him."
"We're working with every law enforcement, federal, local, airports to bus stations, every part of our border in Texas. We need the eyes and the ears of all of our citizens to help us bring this suspect in custody," Chief Finner said on Monday.
A reward of up to $60,000 was being offered for information leading to Rosales' arrest.
Authorities say two of Rosales' family members are charged with felony tampering with evidence in connection to the deadly shooting.
According to charges read in probable cause court on Tuesday, Henri Mauricio Pereira Marquez, 42, and Reina Azucena Pereira Marquez, 40, are accused of wiping down a vehicle that is believed to have been involved in the shooting.
Their bond was set at $100,000 on Tuesday. If they are released on bond, they will be subject to house arrest and GPS monitoring.
I’ll just scoot back over the border and they can’t catch me! Ha ha, fock you gringo! Ha ha ha!
Ha ha! I am Oh-scare Roz-hall-ace!
AFAIK, the only stipulation Mexico has for extradition is ‘No Death Penalty’.................
He probably won't be extradited unless Texas takes the death penalty off the table.
get a rope
Yeah hey Oh-scare, we'll promised your gov-hair-meent to give you life without parole in Polunsky! How 'bout that?
