Henry Canales was a 42-year-old Houston Police Department officer killed on June 23, 2009, during an undercover operation aimed at recovering stolen televisions. The meeting took place in the parking lot of a Walgreens at Hillcroft and Bellaire, where Canales and another undercover officer arranged to meet suspects. One suspect produced a pistol and opened fire; Canales returned fire but died at the scene. The shooter was also killed in the exchange.

Three other suspects fled but were later caught. Andres Nava-Maldonado and Xiomara Mendez-Rosales were convicted of murder and related criminal charges and received 60-year prison sentences. Roberto Carrillo was identified as involved in the shooting and was killed by police during the incident. Canales, a U.S. Air Force veteran, had served 16 years with the Houston Police Department and is survived by his wife, Amor Canales, and their children Stephanie and Henry Canales Jr.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Canales or information about the investigation that could add context to the events that night?
