A Texas inmate who belonged to a white supremacist gang was executed on Wednesday night for the slaying of a woman about 20 years ago.

Justin Hall, 38, received a lethal dose of pentobarbital at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the October 2002 killing Melanie Billhartz, according to CBS News. Prosecutors said that he killed her because he was afraid she would alert police over his drug operation. Officials charged him with a second killing later on, the report said.
