Suspect in shooting of 3 HPD officers recently robbed Katy auto shop at gunpoint, records show

The suspect accused of shooting three Houston police officers Thursday was charged with an aggravated robbery in Katy in late December, according to court records. ... An employee told police when he arrived at work on Dec. 28, he saw Caballero carrying three vehicle scanners, which are used to diagnose mechanical issues. He said he recognized Caballero as a customer. ... The employee said when he confronted Caballero, the suspect threw one of the scanners at him, pulled out a gun and threatened to start shooting. ... The auto shop owner later told investigators that Caballero was angry because his food truck hadn't been repaired yet. [ed: economic marginality] ... Based on his history as a "habitual felon," prosecutors asked the judge to deny bond for Caballero on the recent robbery case in Katy. It's not clear if he had been arrested in that case.

Whatever happened after the armed robbery in Dec (not arrested?, out on bond?) obviously he wasn't in jail -- as I recall, in other cases it was a female judge in Houston who allowed guys like this out on bond.
