Petition to Deny Parole for Cop Killer David Madrigal

Trooper Carlos Warren was shot and killed when he interrupted an abduction in progress at a rural highway rest area on Highway 71 near Del Valle, Texas. He was shot in the neck.

The suspect fled the scene but was later stopped in San Antonio, Texas, for not wearing his seatbelt. He opened fire on the officer who stopped him and was wounded by the officer's return fire. He was convicted of Trooper Warren's murder and sentenced to prison. He is eligible for parole in 2008.

Trooper Warren had served with the Texas Highway Patrol for 12.5 years, and was assigned to Region 6. He is survived by his parents, two daughters, and three brothers.
