Soliz was the 15 th inmate put to death this year in the US.

It was the sixth execution in Texas and the second in as many weeks in the state.

Nine more executions are scheduled this year in the nation’s busiest capital-punishment state.

Final apology

During a five-minute final statement, Soliz apologized profusely from the death chamber gurney.

“I don’t know if me passing will bring y’all comfort for the pain and suffering I caused y’all, “he said, looking at his victim’s son and daughter-in-law, who watched through a window a few feet from him.

” I am at peace. I understand the pain that I caused y’all, “asking the family to forgive him as the lethal dose of pentobarbital began.
