HUNTSVILLE, Texas (Associated Press) -- The state of Texas has executed a Dallas-area man convicted of fatally shooting a Brazilian engineer.
Thirty-two-year-old Michael Sigala received a lethal injection Tuesday night for the August 2000 fatal shooting of 28-year-old Kleber Santos, whose job had brought him to Texas shortly after he was married. Santos' wife was also killed in the attack at their apartment in the Dallas suburb of Plano.
Sigala was charged with the wife's slaying but was not tried.

Ten YEARS to execute this guy? Texas...you’re slippin’! ;)
Good riddance...another trashhead bite the dust in Huntsville! NEXT!
GOD BLESS TEXAS! We seek justice for our victims.
Proud Texan here. God how I love my state!
Slipping....na we are lapping the rest of the field!
Texas has the death sentence, and they use it.
Some liberal whiner is probably complaining right now that this poor minority guy who was just turning his life around got executed. As far as I'm concerned, the poor minority victims are the ones who deserve consideration, and in the interests of protecting minorities, we needed to put him beyond any risk of committing another similar crime. In the name of racial justice, this was the right answer.
Sigala was charged with the wife's slaying but was not tried.
I'm okay if they don't bother with that trial. The nice thing about Texas is they get the job done after the first murder conviction when that's the right answer.
Tears of joy.
