Records show Roland Caballero was wanted in connection with an armed robbery.
The man charged with shooting three Houston police officers on Thursday had a warrant issued for him in connection with a December robbery, according to court records.
In December, Roland Caballero, 31, had an open warrant issued for an unlawful carrying a weapon charge and an aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon charge, court records show. The warrant was in connection to a Dec. 28 robbery at an auto shop in Katy, the records indicate.
Caballero is now charged with three counts of attempted capital murder of a police officer and one count of aggravated robbery, Houston police said in a news release.
Caballero was already under investigation when a witness told police prior to the shooting that the suspect was producing gun components called switches that turn semi-automatic pistols into fully automatic ones, according to KTRK.
