Johnathan Moore, 32, was executed in Huntsville for the slaying of a police officer.
He was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m..
Moore was convicted of gunning down Fabian Dominguez, 29, who interrupted Moore and two companions during the burglary of a house in the officer's neighborhood in January 1995.
The San Antonio Police Officers Association chartered a bus and about two dozen officers holding blue glow sticks stood outside the Huntsville Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to honor their fallen colleague while prison officials inside carried out the punishment.
The 2 others with Moore the night of the shooting were arrested a short time after his arrest. Peter Dowdle, now 29, is serving a 25-year prison term. Paul Cameron, also 29, is serving life.
Moore becomes the 2nd condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Texas and the 3rd this year in the USA and the 1060th overall since the nation resumed executions exactly 30 years ago, when Gary Gilmore was shot to death by a firing squad in the Utah State Penitentiary on January 17, 1977.
