       Texas executes Justen Hall for murder of woman in El Paso--
       Wednesday, November 6, 2019
       Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Texas executed a 38-year-old man on Wednesday
       night for the 2002 slaying of a woman in El Paso.
       Justen Hall was the eighth person executed in Texas in 2019.
       Just after 6 p.m., he was strapped to a gurney in the Huntsville
       execution chamber. Hall, identified in court documents as a
       district captain of a white nationalist gang, was convicted in
       the strangling of Melanie Billhartz in El Paso.
       Billhartz's cousin, Cameron Rountree, along with Hall's mother
       and half-sister watched from the viewing room as Hall was
       injected with a lethal dose of pentobarbital at 6:13 p.m. He was
       pronounced dead at 6:32 p.m.
       Hall killed Billhartz while he out on bond from a previous
       murder charge, according to media reports. Newspaper articles
       identified that previous murder victim as Arlene Diaz. During a
       2017 court hearing, Hall admitted to killing Diaz.
       "And to the Diaz's family that I had to put you through this, it
       should have never happened," Hall said shortly before his death
       Wednesday, according to prison officials.
       "These walls 24/7 have broken me. It is taking every last ounce
       of will to even make it from day to day," Hall wrote.
