Oscar Rosales is accused of capital murder and could face life in prison or the death penalty.
A suspect charged in the murder of a Houston police officer will be held without bond, according to court documents.
Oscar Rosales, 51, faces a capitol murder charge in the death of Cpl. Charles Galloway. Rosales allegedly shot Galloway when he was pulled over in a traffic stop, prosecutors said. Police footage captured images of Rosales and the car's license plate, according to prosecutors.
Galloway was shot multiple times and declared dead at the scene, prosecutors said. The cause of death was determined to be a single gun shot wound to the left side of his face.
"We will do all we can to ensure the defendant never again breathes free air, never again steps foot in society as a free man and never again harms the people of Harris County," Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg said in a tweet.
