Man to die Wednesday in brutal killing of Dallas cop
Updated: 13 October 2015 11:07 PM
A man who killed a Dallas cop 14 years ago is scheduled to die for the crime Wednesday.
Licho Escamilla, 33, killed Kevin James on Nov. 25, 2001, outside a Dallas nightclub in the Bachman Lake area near Love Field. James, 34, was working off-duty security at the club. He had just gotten married the month before his death.
Retired Dallas police Maj. Scott Bratcher, who was James’ supervisor and friend, and a few other Dallas officers will make the trek to Huntsville for the execution. Escamilla’s death warrant is effective at 6 p.m.
“It’s way overdue for him to be executed,” Bratcher said.
