Terry Edwards, 43, received a lethal injection for the $3,000 holdup at a Subway restaurant where two employees were shot to death in 2002.
Asked by a warden if he had a final statement, Edwards replied: “I’m at peace with God. I hope y’all find peace in this.” As the lethal dose of pentobarbital was administered, he began snoring quickly. Within about 30 seconds, all movement stopped.
He was pronounced dead at 10:17 p.m. CST Thursday, Jan. 26th, 23 minutes after the sedative began flowing into his arms. Edwards never looked at five relatives of the two murder victims who stood a few feet from him, looking through a window.
Evidence showed Edwards worked at the restaurant in Balch Springs, about 15 miles southeast of Dallas, but had been fired few weeks before the robbery and shootings for stealing from the cash register.
Mickell Goodwin, 26, and Tommy Walker, 34, were each shot in the head in the holdup. RIP. Walker, the store manager, had seven children and stepchildren. Goodwin was mother of two daughters. No one else was inside the store.
“Tonight is a time for us to remember Mickey and Tommy,” their families said in a statement following the execution. “Though this chapter of our journey is now over, we will always feel the loss of them in our lives.”
