A former gang member blew kisses to friends on Tuesday night as he sat strapped to a gurney inside a Texas prison for a triple homicide that he was convicted of more than a decade ago.
Miguel Angel Paredes, 32, attempted to make peace with family members of the victims — none of which were present — with a final statement that he prepared inside the walls of the Huntsville facility.
“To the victim's family, I want you to know that I hope you let go of all the hate because of my actions,” said Paredes, a member of the Texas prison gang Hermanos de Pistoleros Latinos — or Brotherhood of Latin Gunmen. “The lion came here as a lamb.”
Approximately 22 minutes after the lethal injection of pentobarbital, and following a series of shallow breaths and slight snores, the man was pronounced dead at 6:54 p.m. on Tuesday.
“He went so peacefully,” said his friend, Martha Hamilton, from inside the witness room, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.
Dorothy Ruelas, another friend present Tuesday night, said Paredes is now “free.”
His final meal was a cheesesteak sandwich, two sodas and a Gatorade.
The former Mafia member murdered Adrian Torres, 27; his girlfriend Nelly Esmerelda Bravo, 23; and Shawn Michael Cain, 32, in 2000. He was convicted of capital murder in 2001 for the crimes. His accomplices, who wrapped up the bodies and burned them in a remote area of Texas, are currently serving life sentences.

Paredes, who spent approximately a year in the gang when he was 17 years old, had injured two people during two drive-by shootings, executed a gang member, told another person to kill a man and robbed a random person at gunpoint. He had also burned the body of a woman who had overdosed.
He said it took him five years to move on from his rage and has since urged his 16-year-old son to stay away from gang activity.
“The gangs, they'll tell you they're going to be there for you, for your family if you fall, get killed, this and that,” he said. “But the reality is that if it wasn't for your loved ones, your family members, you're gonna wind up in the state cemetery.”
