(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.
