On Wednesday, the illegal alien accused of killing Houston police officer Kevin Will last weekend, was in court for his formal arraignment.

Prosecutors told District Judge Mike Anderson that Johoan Rodriguez, 26, is a member of a notoriously violent Salvadoran street gang.

"He's an admitted member of MS-13," Assistant Harris County District Attorney Catherine Evans said.

It was also revealed that the Mexican national has been twice deported, instead of once as was first reported.

On Sunday morning, Houston police arrested Rodriguez, after he allegedly drove his car past a road block on the 610 North Loop, striking and killing Officer Will.

Officer Will was investigating a hit-and-run accident when he was struck by Rodriguez’ Volkswagen Bug. Though the officer could not get out of the way in time, he did manage to warn a citizen of the speeding vehicle.

The officer’s body was dragged for some distance along the highway at estimated speeds around 80 mph.

According to police, the illegal alien had .3 grams of cocaine in his pocket at the time of his arrest. He also had a blood alcohol level of .238.

The illegal alien is charged withintoxication manslaughter, evading arrest and drug possession.

38-year-old Officer Kevin Will leaves behind a wife and their two children, ages 6 and 10. His wife is also six months pregnant. He was laid to rest on Thursday.
