Richard Lee Tabler, 46, was executed Thursday night in Texas for the 2004 shooting deaths of two men. He was also condemned for the killings of two teenage girls but was never tried in their deaths. Before his execution, Tabler apologized to the victims' families and expressed remorse for his actions.
HUNTSVILLE, Texas — A Texas man who killed his strip club manager and another man, then later prompted a massive lockdown of the state prison system when he used a cellphone smuggled onto death row to threaten a lawmaker, was executed Thursday night.
He expressed to love to his family and friends, lawyers and supporters, and he thanked prison officials for their compassion and “the opportunity to show you that I can change and become a better man and rehabilitate.” Rahmouni was the manager of a strip club where Tabler worked until he was banned from the place. Zayed was a friend of Rahmouni, and police said both men were killed in a late-night meeting to buy some stolen stereo equipment that was actually a planned ambush.
“Petitioner has spent the last twenty years in the Courts, and see’s no point in wasting this Courts time, nor anyone else’s,” Tabler wrote to the state Court of Criminal Appeals on Dec. 9, 2024 after his current execution date was set.
