A man convicted of fatally shooting a Dallas police officer nearly 16 years ago is facing execution.
FILE - This image provided by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice shows Texas death row inmate Wesley Ruiz, who was convicted of fatally shooting a Dallas police officer in 2007. Ruiz faces execution by lethal injection on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. – A man convicted of fatally shooting a Dallas police officer nearly 16 years ago faces execution on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old officer was a U.S. Navy veteran of Operation Desert Storm. He’d been on the Dallas force for nearly seven years and was engaged to be married when he was killed. In court documents filed late Tuesday with the Supreme Court, the Texas Attorney General's Office said Ruiz’s claim of juror bias has no merit because a review of the allegations conducted last week by Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot found no such bias. One of the jurors accused of bias by Ruiz's attorneys told Creuzot that, “I was not nor am not bias to anyone or any race," according to the court filing.
