Overview

• A Harris County jury found Rosales guilty June 6 for the January 2022 shooting death of Precinct 5 Deputy Charles Galloway during a traffic stop
• Prosecutors relied on dashcam footage showing Rosales firing nearly two dozen rounds at Galloway’s squad car and DNA evidence linking him to the weapon
• Rosales testified he thought he was targeting strip club security guards working for a cartel after an earlier bar dispute
• After the shooting, Rosales spent a day selling jewelry and switching vehicles in Houston before fleeing to the Austin area and ultimately Mexico, where he was captured
• Defense attorneys are urging jurors to consider a lesser murder conviction to avoid a death sentence
