A Texas inmate who was convicted of fatally shooting an elderly man at his home as he robbed him of his truck nearly three decades ago is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection by the state on Wednesday.
Billy Joe Wardlow, 45, is set to be put to death at 6 p.m. (2300 GMT) at the state’s execution chamber in Huntsville for the murder of Carl Cole, 82, in 1993.
