Franklin Dewayne Alix has been put to death for fatally shooting a Houston man during a robbery. The 34-year-old Alix was given a lethal injection Tuesday evening for killing 23-year-old Eric Bridgeford. Bridgeford interrupted Alix during the robbery of Bridgeford's sister's apartment in 1998. The sister was abducted and raped in what authorities said was part of a six-month crime rampage by Alix.
Franklin DeWayne Alix, 34, was executed March 30, 2010 at 6:20 p.m. CDT by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas for the January 3, 1998 murder of Eric Bridgeford, 23.
Alix abducted a woman, forced her into the trunk of a car, drove around and raped her, then brought her home. As he was ransacking her apartment, her brother Eric Bridgeford came in, saw Alix with a gun and ran but was shot in the back. Alix fled and was arrested a few days later and admitted the shooting, directing officers to the murder weapon. During the punishment phase of his trial, evidence was introduced of a six month crime spree by Alix in which he committed three other murders, two attempted murders, eight aggravated robberies, one robbery and two aggravated sexual assaults accompanied by four aggravated kidnappings.
