DALLAS – The United States Marshal Service is searching for a convicted murderer who cut off his ankle monitor and skipped out on the final day of his murder trial.
The Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said Friday morning that the defendant, Rene Adrian Carillo, 25, was found guilty of fatally shooting Jean Carlo Casiano-Torres outside Dallas’ Club XTC in October 2017 and sentenced to 99 years behind bars, reported NBCDFW.
Prosecutors said Carillo and Casiano-Torres got into an argument inside the strip club. The disagreement continued outside in the parking lot where video surveillance recorded Carillo pull out a gun and shoot Casiano-Torres several times. Furthermore, a woman with the victim was also injured, according to a report from The Dallas Morning News.
“Carillo killed a man he had no beef with. A person he had never met. His actions show a lack of respect for life and an unwillingness to accept responsibility,” said Dallas County lead prosecutor Marissa Trevino.
Since he cut his leg monitor and skipped out on the final day of trial, Carillo was not present for his verdict or sentencing Thursday. Consequently, Assistant District Attorney Summer Elmazi said he will face additional felony charges for fleeing and jumping bail.
U.S. Marshals issued a warrant and released a wanted poster for Carillo. If anyone has seen Carillo or has information about his whereabouts, please call 972-978-1765.
