He was executed for striking and killing a police lieutenant ^Stuart Alexander with an SUV during a chase six years ago.
"I hope this execution helps my family and also the victim's family," said Lopez, who spoke quietly and quickly. "This was never meant to be, sure beyond my power. I can only walk the path before me and make the best of it. I'm sorry for putting you all through this. I am sorry. I love you. I am ready. May we all go to heaven."
Outside the Huntsville prison, bikers revved up in support of police.
Lopez was also a registered sex offender (child molestation) at the time he was arrested for the officer's vehicular homicide.
