'He was very much loved': Funeral scheduled for Harris County deputy killed during traffic stop

Harris County Precinct 5 Corporal Charles Galloway, killed during traffic stop in Houston early Sunday, Jan. 23, will be laid to rest next week, according to an area news report.

Galloway's funeral will be Tuesday, Feb. 1 at Second Baptist Church - West Campus at 19449 Katy Freeway in Houston and will be open to the public, KHOU 11 reported Wednesday, Jan. 26. The church plans to livestream the service.

Meanwhile, the man police say killed Galloway during a traffic stop in the 9100 block of Beechnut Street in southwest Houston is in Harris County Jail. Oscar Rosales, 51, was booked on a charge of capital murder for Galloway's killing, according to public information on the Harris County Sheriff's Office's website. Rosales has been denied bond.

Rosales' booking followed a nationwide manhunt that ended with his arrest in Mexico.

Precinct 5 Constable Ted Heap and Assistant Chief Kevin Hubbard "personally delivered accused murderer Oscar Rosales to the Harris County Joint Processing Center this evening," the precinct said in a Wednesday, Jan. 26 Facebook post.

Rosales, was returned to Harris County manacled in Galloway's own handcuffs, according to the Facebook post.

Galloway was a Harris County Precinct 5 veteran since 2009 and had been assigned to the county's toll road division but had been transitioned to night duty so he could become a field training officer, mentoring newer deputies.

"He was the one who was sitting in the front seat with them," Heap said in many local news reports, including KHOU 11. "He was the one who was teaching them what to do and how to get safely to their families."

Galloway pulled Rosales over at about 12:45 a.m. and never had "an opportunity to defend himself in this brutal attack," Heap said in the precinct Facebook post. Deputy Galloway was struck multiple times and died on the spot.

"We cannot have people like this on our streets," Heap said. "I do not want to raise my family, my grandchildren, in a county where this type of crime is running rampant."

Galloway's killing has plunged local law enforcement and the community into mourning.

"Corporal Galloway was very much loved by the men and women he served with," Heap said. "There's a lot of broken up officers who he meant a lot to in their lives."

The Houston Police Department is handling the investigation into Galloway's killing.
