Convicted murderer Wesley Ruiz apologized to the family of Dallas police officer Mark Nix before he was executed as punishment for fatally shooting the officer in 2007.
A convicted cop-killer who fatally shot a Dallas police corporal after a high speed chase in 2007 used his final breaths to apologize to the officer’s family Wednesday, telling them he was sorry “for taking him away from you” minutes before being put to death.
“I would like to apologize to Mark and the Nix family for taking him away from you,” Ruiz said as he lay strapped to the gurney. “I hope this brings you closure.”“Don’t worry about me,” Ruiz said. “I’m ready to fly.” Ruiz had said he fled from police that day 16 years ago because he had drugs in the car and was high at the time., a U.S. Navy veteran, once the pursuit ended because Nix was trying to break the car’s passenger side window, authorities said.
