 Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo on Tuesday said there aren't enough law enforcement officers focusing on holding parolees accountable and he promised to set the standard in Harris County. "A lot of Harris County residents will be sleeping much better tonight," said a relieved Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, less than 24 hours after he and Houston's police chief held a joint news conference to plead for the public's help in locating Rodriguez. "There's not enough of us dealing with parolees." A parolee who authorities said cut off his ankle monitor and carried out a series of killings in the Houston area has been arrested and charged with capital murder. Her car, a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser, was stolen from her home and found abandoned the next day at nearby Willowbrook Mall. A day later, the manager of a Mattress Firm on FM 1960 in the Willowbrook area found 28-year-old employee Allie Barrow shot in the head in the store's back office. The last of the fatal shootings came later that day, when police found the body of 57-year-old Edward Magaña inside a Mattress One on the North Freeway. "There's no doubt in our mind that he intended to find his next victim," Gonzalez said. Rodriguez, a high-risk registered sex offender, had been released from prison in September 2017 after serving part of a 20-year sentence for attempted aggravated sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl, according to records with the Texas Department of Corrections. Police recovered a pistol during the arrest, but it won't be clear until tests come back whether it's the murder weapon. Rodriguez has been charged with two counts of capital murder for Johnson's death and the mattress store attack, officials said Tuesday. Houston Police Department 
 
 When Harris County Sheriff's deputy Jorge Reyes, who helped nab Rodriguez, left home for his shift Monday night, he told his wife, "I'm gonna catch him," Reyes recalled at Tuesday's news conference.
– Houston police believe they nabbed a suspected serial killer with the Tuesday morning arrest of Jose Gilberto Rodriguez. A deadly crime spree began in the area on July 9 with a home invasion and robbery followed by the murder of a 62-year-old woman whose car was stolen. On Saturday, a 28-year-old employee of a mattress store was shot dead in the store's back office. In two separate shootings Monday, a 22-year-old bus driver was left in critical condition and a 57-year-old man was killed in another mattress store. Rodriguez, 46, is suspected in all of the crimes. He was arrested after someone spotted a suspicious vehicle in the Cypress area Tuesday morning and alerted authorities, who captured him after a 14-minute chase. He was found in a car stolen from one of the victims, and a pistol was found in the car, the Houston Chronicle reports. Rodriguez has a violent history dating back to at least 1989, with felony convictions for crimes including attempted sex assault, burglary, and auto theft. He was paroled in September 2017 and deemed a high-risk sex offender. Days before the police announced the manhunt for Rodriguez Monday, he allegedly cut off his ankle monitor. "We are very relieved this morning," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told reporters. "We're very relieved, again, very thankful, to the citizens of Harris County for calling in, being diligent and reporting this to us so that we could take action." Authorities, who believe Rodriguez was on the hunt for his next victim when he was caught, have not offered details on the evidence allegedly linking him to the crimes. They believe the victims were chosen randomly, ABC News reports. He's been hit with two capital murder charges and a third is expected.
