Derrick Jackson will be the 15th person put to death in Texas this year. He was convicted of killing opera singers Forrest Henderson and Richard Alan Wrotenbery. Wrotenbery, recently divorced, was living with Henderson until he could find a place of his own. Henderson went out to a gay bar in montrose and picked up the wrong guy.

He brought home Jackson for a night no one could predict. Police say the scene they discovered at Henderson’s apartment was brutal and bloody. A bloody hand print linked Jackson to the murders, just when police were giving up on ever finding the killer. Jackson, who had evaded police on several instances, was not difficult to track down because he was already serving 12 years for aggravated robbery.

Jackson maintains his innocence in the wake of his death.

KTRK reports that the Harris County District Attorney announced the arrests of 33-year-old Juan Carlos Tejada and 35-year-old Jorge Tejada Magdaleno. The two were wanted for the fatal beating and stabbing of a teenager in Houston.

According to KTRK, “Houston Police officers reported that on November 18, 1994, about six gang members emerged from a van and attacked Juan Esparza, 17, as he walked in the 4400 block of Sherwood. He died at Ben Taub Hospital after being beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed during the assault.”

Both men are alleged to be assailants and disappeared for years. Houston Police said they used different names to get drivers licenses. That information actually was helpful to investigators in finally locating the suspects.
