Families still grieving as car wash killer’s execution nears

Robert Wayne Harris is on Death Row and set for execution this Thursday in Huntsville, TX. He was convicted for the murder of five of his former co-workers after being fired and arrested from an Irving car wash in 2000. The families of the slain victims continue to mourn their loss, and wait for their justice.

“McFadden and others plan to travel to Huntsville to view Thursday’s scheduled execution, making Harris the eighth person put to death in Texas this year.

The state’s Board of Pardons and Parole is expected to decide Tuesday whether to grant Harris clemency, a formality given to all Death Row inmates.

His execution will close a painful chapter for his victims’ families, who still freshly remember that day in 2000.”
