    Pablo Melendez, Jr. - Texas Death Row






    Facts of the Crime:

    Convicted in the September 1994 shooting death of 29-year-old Michael W. Sanders during a robbery. Sanders and a companion, 33-year-old Tommie Joe Seagraves, had pulled into the parking lot of the Toro car wash at 2621 NM 31st Street in Fort Worth to use a public telephone when Melendez approached them from behind and demanded money. At some point, Melendez fired several shots at the two men inside the vehicle, fatally wounding Sanders in the back. Seagraves suffered a bullet wound to the neck but survived the shooting.

    Melendez was sentenced to death in Tarrant County on May 21, 1996.

    First execution date was set for March 16, 2005, but was stayed. There has been no information since then.

    Texas Death Row Guard Wounded In Spear Attack

    Texas prison guard Bradley Davison suffered a scalp wound Tuesday when an improvised spear thrown by one death row inmate at another hit him instead.

    The 25-inch spear was made of rolled paper and had an inch-long sharpened metal head.

    An investigation is underway into how death row inmate Pablo Melendez was able to make the spear in what is supposed to be one of the state’s most secure cellblocks.

    Investigators said Davison was taking death row inmate Robert Lynn Pruett to his cell when the spear shot from Melendez’s cell, hitting Davison in the head.

    Melendez awaits execution for the 1994 shooting death of Michael Sanders during a Fort Worth robbery.

    Pruett was sentenced to die for the 1999 slaying of a correctional officer at the McConnell Unit outside Beeville.

    Neither has a pending execution date.
