Illegal Immigrant Convicted In Texas Police Officer’s Death Save Email Print

A | A | A

(May 8, 2008)--An illegal immigrant from Mexico was convicted of capital murder Thursday in the 2006 shooting death of a Houston policeman.

Jurors late Thursday found 34-year-old Juan Leonardo Quintero-Perez guilty in the slaying of Officer Rodney Johnson.

The 40-year-old lawman was killed during a September 2006 traffic stop.

Johnson was shot four times in the head after arresting Quintero-Perez for driving without a license.

Records show Quintero-Perez was deported in 1999 after he was convicted of indecency with a child, but he slipped back into Texas.

Quintero-Perez could get the death penalty.

Rodney was a very good man and friend of my parents. He is still missed very dearly. I personaly would love to see this illegal murderer get the death penalty and not sit on death row for years to come. My prayers are still with his family.

he should get the death penalty then ship his cold dead body back to Mexico.
