U.S. marshals are looking for a 25-year-old man who failed to appear in court Thursday when a jury convicted him of a 2017 Dallas murder at a Stemmons Freeway strip club.

Despite his absence, a jury sentenced Rene Adrian Carrillo to life in prison for the October 2017 shooting death of Jean Carlo Casiano-Torres.

According to an arrest-warrant affidavit, Adrian Castilleja, a 21-year-old accomplice of Carrillo's, got into an argument with Casiano-Torres inside the XTC Cabaret on Oct. 11, 2017. Castilleja flashed a handgun at the victim multiple times and even told a witness he would shoot Casiano-Torres.

The fight spilled into the parking lot, and witnesses saw Castilleja get into a white Cadillac driven by Carrillo, and hand Carrillo the gun. Surveillance cameras captured the Cadillac drive to a nearby Whataburger, before returning to the strip club a short time later.

After returning to the club, Carrillo drove up to a white Mercedes, where Casiano-Torres sat in a passenger seat, the warrant says. Surveillance footage captured Carrillo as he walked up to the Mercedes and shot Casiano-Torres to death.

"Carrillo killed a man he had no beef with. A person he had never met," lead prosecutor Marissa Trevino told jurors, according to the Dallas County district attorney's office. "His actions show a lack of respect for life and an unwillingness to accept responsibility."

The jury convicted Carrillo on a murder charge on the fourth day of the trial, but he was a no-show in court. He cut off his electronic leg monitor the night before the verdict and ran away, officials said.

Police also charged Castilleja with murder and said he participated in the killing, according to an affidavit. He will stand trial in September, according to court records.

U.S. marshals issued a warrant for Carrillo. He will immediately begin serving his life sentence when captured. Carrillo also faces additional charges for fleeing and bail jumping, according to the district attorney's office.

Anyone with information on Carrillo's whereabouts is asked to call 972-978-1765.
