HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS — A Mexican national was executed Wednesday night in Texas for killing a Houston police officer, despite pleas and diplomatic pressure from the Mexican government and the U.S. State Department to halt the punishment.
Edgar Tamayo, 46, received a lethal injection for the January 1994 fatal shooting of Officer Guy Gaddis, 24.
Asked by a warden if he had a final statement, he mumbled "no" and shook his head. As the lethal dose of pentobarbital began taking effect, he took a few breaths and then made one slightly audible snore before all movement stopped. He was pronounced dead 17 minutes after the drug was administered, at 9:32 p.m. CST.
Tamayo never looked toward Gaddis' mother, two brothers and two other relatives who watched through a window. He selected no witnesses of his own.

Send the corpse to Mexico!
Great! I thought it was posted on another thread they stopped the execution.
Don’t know how they could get this wrong.
And he was a freaky looking murdering cockroach...
20 years? Oh, how swift is justice.
Good Riddance!!! Hope the bastard suffered
Justice has been served.
Adios, MOFO. Next. We use the ultimate penalty here.
It’ll just cross back over.
true, but at least we do pull the trigger.
Only to vote.
There were several dozen police officers and supporters of the slain patrolman were revving their motorcycles outside of the prison before witnesses were let inside the death chamber.

Bet he heard it....
Love it.
So he died in his sleep?
He had vitiligo, a condition in which the skin loses its pigmentation.
ACORN already signed him up about 26 times, he’ll vote for Wendy Davis and Hillary.
Gaddis, who had been on the force for two years, was driving Tamayo and another man from a robbery scene when evidence showed the officer was shot three times in the head and neck with a pistol Tamayo had concealed in his pants. The car crashed, and Tamayo fled on foot but was captured a few blocks away, still in handcuffs, carrying the robbery victim’s watch and wearing the victim’s necklace.

Makes ya wonder how many more of these SOBs from Mechico, capable of this level of violence, are still wandering around on our streets and neighborhoods. I’d bet it’s in the tens of thousands..
He need not worry about it now.
I’m from Texas. In Texas we have the death penalty. And we USE it. That’s right, if you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back. That’s our policy.
