The Mexican consulate hired an attorney to represent a man accused of killing a Houston police officer, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Juan Quintero, 32, was in court Friday. The Mexican consulate asked the judge to have its lawyer represent Quintero.
Quintero is an illegal immigrant who was deported in 1999 but sneaked back into the country, according to authorities.
Houston police officer Rodney Johnson, 40, was shot and killed during a traffic stop in the 9300 block of Randolph Street near Braniff Street on Sept. 21.
Investigators said Quintero shot Johnson four times in the head while sitting in the back of the officer's patrol car.
Quintero has a criminal past, including the sexual abuse of a child in 1996.
