A Harris County murder defendant is on the loose after he reportedly cut off his ankle monitor before his trial was to begin. Walter Pozos was scheduled to stand trial for murder last Wednesday, but officials say he removed his monitor early Monday morning.
Pozos was involved in a high-speed chase involving Harris County deputies in 2023. The chase ended with a crash in which one of his passengers was killed and another was injured. A murder trial for Pozos in February ended in a mistrial because of a hung jury.
