A Dallas police officer Bryan Riser was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder. “This individual has no business wearing this uniform,” Dallas police department Chief Eddie García said about Riser during a press conference according to CBS DFW 11.

Riser a 13-year veteran was arrested on March 4 and was taken to Dallas County Jail for processing. He worked for the department since August 2008 and assigned to the South-Central patrol division. Riser is on administrative leave pending the outcome of an Internal Affairs administrative investigation.

Chief García said the charges against Riser are from two unrelated murder victims in 2017. One was a woman named Lisa Saenz who was kidnapped in March. She was found in the Trinity River deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. Three men, Kevin Kidd, 28, Emmanuel Kilpatrick, 31, and Jermon Simmons, 35, were arrested at the time and charged with capital murder.

The other victim, Albert Douglas was kidnapped and killed in Feb. 2017. His body was never recovered. García said Riser had a relationship with at least one of the victims according to the news station.  The police department first identified Riser as a person of interest in 2019. However, there wasn’t enough evidence to arrest him. Riser was out patrolling the community while he was actively under investigation for murder.

García assured the community that the department is moving forward with termination as quickly as possible. He also said they’re looking into all of Riser’s arrests to ensure “there is nothing more there.”

“No one hates a bad cop more than a good cop,” said García. Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson released the following statemen to CBS DFW 11.

“While I understand this case remains under investigation, I am sickened to hear about these allegations. But I am grateful for our homicide detectives, who have worked to ensure that justice is served. My heart goes out to the victims’ loved ones. I cannot imagine the anguish they have endured. They, and all the people of Dallas, deserve answers in this case.”
