Rodney Joseph Johnson

Biography

Rodney Joseph Johnson (October 24, 1965 - September 21, 2006) was a Houston Police officer who served 14 years with the agency prior to his death in the line of duty on September 21, 2006. Johnson's murder by Juan Leonardo Quintero, a Mexican illegal immigrant who had previously been deported from the U.S. for sexually assaulting a girl but had returned, sparked a debate over illegal immigration and the incident "became a poster child for loose border enforcement." In 2008, Quintero was sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime.
