"Message from brother of fallen Texas State Trooper
Dear Department of Public Safety Family,
On March 5, 1991, my brother Trooper Carlos Ray Warren was mercilessly shot in the back three times where he was left to die in a pool of his own blood at a rest stop just outside of Austin, Texas. After David Madrigal had murdered my brother he fled the scene only to be stopped in San Antonio for not wearing a seat belt. When he was pulled over there, he also attempted to murder a second law enforcement officer who thankfully was not injured, but managed to return fire and apprehend the suspect.
The night that Charlie was killed, he left behind two beautiful daughters’ ages 7 and 11. What a heavy price they have had to pay. One night while walking hand-in-hand with my niece, she looked up at me and out of the blue said "I wonder if this is what it would have felt like to hold my Daddy’s hand?"
It has been 17 years since this tragedy occurred and I have seen the devastation it has brought to all who knew my brother. I can still see my mother screaming and clutching his picture in the living room the night she was told. She is now just starting to show signs of inner peace, but unfortunately, we are now being told that every year we will have to appeal his parole. As law enforcement officers this must hit you at so many levels that I am sure it will make you as sick as it does our family. Please help me and my family to uphold the values and safeties my brother and so many others like him died for by voicing your disapproval of David Madrigal’s parole to the State parole board. He has only served 17 years for the murder of a fellow officer. Do you think this is enough time? Thank you so much for your time and may God Bless and protect each and every one of you while you are both on and off duty.
Sincerely,
John H. Warren
