Nearly two years after Sgt. Sean Rios was killed in what was originally called a road rage incident, opening statements got underway in the trial of Rios' alleged killer.
Robert Solis, the man accused in the shooting death of HPD Sgt. Sean Rios, pleaded not guilty in court and claimed he acted in self-defense.On Tuesday, the man accused of the shooting death of Houston police Sgt. Sean Rios appeared in court, where he pleaded not guilty, and his attorneys claim he acted in self-defense.
Soliz ran into Cactus King Nursery, and Rios ran after him and took a fighting stance as Soliz pointed a gun at him. During that time, Soliz's friend, Jason Vasquez, arrived at the scene. Prosecutors said Soliz was "aggressively shooting" at Rios, who then ran to a nearby hotel where he died. Defense attorneys painted Rios as the aggressor on day one of the trial. They said the sergeant got out of his car "red-faced" with a gun in hand and marched toward Soliz's car. That's when they exchanged gunfire. Soliz ran away from Rios, who followed and waited at a nearby gate with a gun, the defense said.
