HOUSTON -- A man charged with shooting a deputy is in the United States illegally, officials told KPRC Local 2 Thursday.

Harris County sheriff's deputies said Oscar Perez, 25, shot Deputy Gerald Barnes outside the Safari Night Club in the 8800 block of East Mount Houston Road early Monday.

Investigators said Perez kidnapped Miguel Soto, who Perez thought stole his stereo. Barnes was shot when he intervened, investigators said. Barnes was shot in the chest, above his bulletproof vest, officials said.


Perez fled the scene with Soto and later shot him in the abdomen, officials said. Soto was hospitalized in critical condition.

Detectives said Perez was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon on a public servant.

Officials said they later learned that Perez is an illegal immigrant.

"INS has placed a detainer on him," Lt. John Martin said. "Apparently, he is in the country illegally."

Perez is in the Harris County Jail. His bond has not been set, but if bond is set and Perez is able to pay his way out, he will not get far.

"If he were to be released from our jail, of course ICE would be notified so that they could pick him up," Martin said.

Perez does not have a prior criminal record.

If convicted, Perez could face up to life in prison.

Perez is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Friday.

No mention of the deputy's condition. I pray he'll be ok.

Perez does not have a prior criminal record.

Really?
I'd say that stepping over that little thing called the USA BORDER ILLEGALLY might just be the first CRIMINAL ACTION.

Call me crazy

Another American murdered by this Congress & Administration, teddy the SWIMMER kennedy and all the Administrations before it

And Kennedy wants amnesty for these people when we don't even know who is here illegally until they committ a crime. The crime, is our government allowing this to go on as they wait for their stupid bill to pass. This is never going to stop until we enforce the borders and the laws across this country.

Tinybob, you are so correct! And of course the only way to do this is to make sure our elected officials hear from us DAILY. We must never let up in sending them faxes, emails and calls. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, AND WE WANT IT BACK!

Update on the officer's condition is stable as of this morning. According to police reports, the officer was struck at the base of his throat, just above his clavicle and immediately above his bulletproof vest.

They just want to work.

EXACTLY!!!
I hope the deputy will be ok, but if not we do have the death penalty here.

I'd say the penalty if convicted is a bit UNFAIR!.....

...unfair to American Citizens.... are we going to give this piece of scum free room and board in the U.S.A. for the rest of his low life????

The mejican govenment will get involved coming to the aid of one of their "poor" citizens and try and get him freed.
