Charges Filed Against Suspect
Sunday, May 29, 2011
HOUSTON -- Charges have been filed against a suspect arrested in a
traffic accident that killed a Houston police officer at 101 North
Loop East (North Interstate Highway 610 East) about 3:45 a.m. Sunday.
The suspect, Johoan Rodriguez, is charged with intoxication
manslaughter of a peace officer, felony evading in a motor vehicle
and possession of a controlled substance in 183rd State District Court.
Officer Kevin S. Will, 38, was pronounced dead at the scene. Will,
who had been with the department since September 2009, was assigned
to the Vehicular Crimes Division.
Will was investigating a previous accident on 610 North Loop about
3:45 a.m. near Yale when Rodriguez, driving a silver Volkswagon Bug,
passed through a police barricade blocking the freeway. Officers
pursued the Volkswagon, but before it could be stopped, the vehicle
struck Will. Rodriguez was taken into custody at the scene and then
transported to Ben Taub General Hospital where he was treated for
minor injuries, police said.
Will is survived by his wife and two children.
