DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – A guilty verdict and a 99-year prison sentence was handed down this week in Dallas County to a 25-year-old man who was a no show on day 4 of his murder trial.
According to the Dallas County District Attorney’s office, as court was set to begin Thursday morning, prosecutors learned the defendant, Rene Adrian Carrillo, cut off his electronic leg monitor on Wednesday night and took off. The United States Marshal Service immediately issued a warrant and released a wanted poster for Carillo. They have been on the hunt for him ever since.
On October 19, 2017, Dallas Police charged Carrillo with the murder of Jean Carlo Casiano-Torres. Witnesses reported that Carrillo got into a verbal argument with Casiano-Torres inside Club XTC. The argument then continued outside into the parking lot. Video Surveillance captured Carillo pulling out a weapon and shooting Casiano-Torres multiple times, killing him. Lead Prosecutor Marissa Trevino told jurors, “Carrillo 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.”
The District Attorney’s Office said Friday that when Carrillo is re-captured he will be begin serving his 99-year sentence in a Texas prison, and face additional felony charges for fleeing and bail jumping.
