Despite being acquitted in Sgt. Sean Rios' death, Robert Soliz remains in jail facing drug and aggravated assault charges from two previous and unrelated shootings.
Emotions ran high when the verdict was announced in the case of Robert Soliz, the man accused of killing HPD Sgt. Sean Rios.The man accused of shooting and killing a Houston police sergeant in November 2020 was found not guilty.
Soliz was charged with murder. He's accused of killing Sgt. Sean Rios in what then-HPD Chief Art Acevedo described as a gun battle. Jurors, comprised of five women and eight men, were sent to deliberate Tuesday morning in Robert Soliz's trial. About seven hours later, they reached a verdict. Soliz showed visible relief and mouthed the words, "I told you so.""They're extremely disappointed. They're in shock, as they should be, as we all are," Douglas Griffith, president of the Houston Police Officer's Union, said.
"I'm greatly relieved because this should have never happened. They did not have a shred of evidence that this was more than self-defense," defense attorney Paul Looney told ABC13. "They put this man and his family through hell for two years. But I'm relieved because the damage wasn't for life because it could have been life.
For now, Soliz remains in jail, still facing drug and aggravated assault charges from two previous and unrelated shootings. He was also charged in September with having a prohibited substance, marijuana, while in jail.
