Robert Soliz, the man who was found not guilty of shooting and killing a Houston police officer in 2020 during a road rage incident, was sentenced to five years in prison for another crime.
According to court documents, Soliz entered a guilty plea for having a prohibited substance in a correctional facility on Sept. 1, 2022, apparently during the time he was jailed and accused of murdering the HPD Sargent.In November 2022, Soliz was found not guilty in the fatal shooting of HPD Sgt. Sean Rios.On Nov. 9, 2020, Rios and Soliz were both traveling on the North Freeway around 1:30 p.m. when they got into some sort of altercation.
Soliz fled the scene but was arrested 24 hours later during a traffic stop on the Katy Freeway. He was placed in the Harris County Jail and charged with murder. He was not charged with capital murder of a police officer because it was not known if Rios, who was off duty at the time, identified himself as law enforcement.During the trial, who actually initiated the road rage was a point of argument. Soliz claims the shooting was in self-defense.Soliz has a lengthy criminal history. Records show the following charges, seven of which occurred before Sgt. Rios was killed. Records also show bond amounts varied between $100 and $10,000.
