HOUSTON, (AP) -- A convicted killer sent to death row for killing a sheriff's deputy apparently committed suicide in his cell, prison officials said Tuesday.
The body of Jesus Flores, 25, was found by a corrections officer about 4 a.m. Tuesday. Flores was pronounced dead about an hour later, said Michelle Lyons, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
"He had lacerations on his throat and forehead," she said.
Flores apparently tried to use his own blood to scribble a message on the wall, but it was illegible, Lyons said.
Flores was convicted of capital murder for the May 2001 death of Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Dennis, 35. Flores was 19 at the time of the shooting.
Flores had been on death row since December 2001. His case was still on appeal before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which had already upheld his conviction and death sentence. An execution date was never set.

Back in the good old days, here in the south, it was hard to escape "suicide" if you harmed a child, law man or raped a woman. For some reason the streets were safe to walk.
Well, hmm. How about the skull of Pac-man?
Harris was let off for that murder because it was ruled "self defense". Anyway, what were they going to do to Harris - - send him to death row? I suspect Harris ended up with a few extra cartons of cigarettes....
Hey, it’s the thought that counts.
That’s what my Parents taught me.
Aloha kakou
Thank you! That’s closer to what I had in mind. Too bad the zombies already lapped up the blood.
Why don’t they leave DIY suicide kits in the cells of every death row inmate ?
Thank you, Jesus.
It will be 28 years this June that John George Brown shot and killed Officer Donald F. Reed outside a bar in Garden, CA .Brown, the scum was given the death penalty twice! Don was a personal friend of the family and became a LEO because of my FIL. Meanwhile, the taxpayers have paid for this slime’s room, food and basic needs for almost 28 years! Razors for all of death row inmates in solitary confinement!
after the juan mccain win.....
this suicide is the first good news of the morning!!!!!
Committing the executions that the American government is unwilling to do.
How about pre-humus?
The garbage finally taking out the garbage. Maybe Bush will declare a day of morning for the illegal POS.
McAmnesty would have pardoned the POS, if he were in office.
The reality, the POS should have never made it to trial when he guns down an “American Brother in Blue.”

Saves money...far more efficient and damned sure faster!
Idea! Provide suicide implements (ropes, poison, razor blades) and an instruction kit for their use to each inmate on death row. Then...no monitoring of the cells; lights out except for 2 hours/day.
Should handle the overcrowding in no time.
“Flores apparently tried to use his own blood to scribble a message on the wall, but it was illegible.”
Typical.
heheheheheheheheheh.........
One of my favorite punk bands, X, put out an album years ago entitled "Hey Zeus!".
Turns out that they were heavily influenced by the poor Mexicans they were surrounded by as they fought their way out of the ghetto and obscurity.
Thank you Jesus.
I have no problem with offering a commission for the family of any death row inmate who wants to shorten his sentence.
It said "A guard is cutting me"
I guess he cancelled his appeal.....
