Wanted: Man Cuts Off Leg Monitor, Skips Final Day of Murder Trial

Jean Carlo Casiano-Torres was killed in 2017, and his family has filed a negligence lawsuit against XTC Cabaret

The United States Marshal Service is hunting for a convicted murderer who cut off his ankle monitor and skipped out on the final day of his murder trial.

The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said Friday morning that the defendant, 25-year-old Rene Adrian Carillo, was found guilty of fatally shooting Jean Carlo Casiano-Torres outside Dallas' Club XTC in October 2017 and sentenced to 99 years behind bars.

Prosecutors said Carillo and Casiano-Torres got into a verbal argument inside the strip club. The argument continued outside in the parking lot where video surveillance recorded Carillo pull out a gun and shoot Casiano-Torres multiple times. A woman with the victim was also injured, according to a report from The Dallas Morning News.

"Carillo killed a man he had no beef with. A person he had never met. His actions show a lack of respect for life and an unwillingness to accept responsibility," said Dallas County lead prosecutor Marissa Trevino.

Carillo was not present for his verdict or sentencing Thursday and Assistant District Attorney Summer Elmazi said he will face additional felony charges for fleeing and jumping bail.

U.S. Marshals issued a warrant and released a wanted poster for Carillo. If anyone has seen Carillo or has information about his whereabouts, please call 972-978-1765.
