The Harris County District Attorney's Office has charged Andres Nava-Maldonado, 41, and Xiomara Mendez-Rosales, 36, with capital murder in the death of Houston police Senior Officer Henry Canales.
Nava-Maldonado told Houston police he was from Mexico and Mendez-Rosales claimed to be from Honduras. There is evidence that they are in the United States illegally, officials said.
The district attorney's office identified Canales' killer as 37-year-old Roberto Pedroza Carillo. Investigators said he fired 10 rounds at officers before an officer fatally shot him.
The shooting happened in the parking lot of a shopping center on Bellaire Boulevard near Hillcroft Street at about 9 p.m. Tuesday. Canales and other undercover officers were there to meet with four people who allegedly wanted to buy stolen TVs.
Police said that after money was exchanged, Carillo pulled out a gun.
Canales suffered at least one gunshot wound and collapsed at the scene. He was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital, where he died.
