Texas executes white supremacist convicted of strangling woman

Justen Hall, 38, was pronounced dead by lethal injection at 6:32 p.m. CST at the state execution chamber in Huntsville, according to a statement from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. According to prosecutors, Ted Murgatroyd, a recruit to Hall's gang, got into a fight with Billhartz that day in her truck on the way to a convenience store in El Paso County. When the pair returned to the drug house where gang members were gathered, Hall decided to kill Billhartz to keep her from reporting the fight or the meeting place to police, according to court documents in the case.
