Summary: Two
months after he had been paroled from prison, Michael Richard approached
Marguerite Dixon’s son, Albert, in front of the Dixon home in Hockley and asked
if a yellow van parked outside the home was for sale. Albert said the vehicle
belonged to his brother who was out of town and suggested that Richard come
back another time. Richard left. When Albert and his sister, Paula, left a few
minutes later, Richard returned and entered the house. He took two television
sets and put them in the yellow van, sexually assaulted Mrs. Dixon and shot her
in the head with a .25 caliber automatic pistol. Richard admitted he was
involved in Mrs. Dixon’s murder and offered to help find the murder weapon.
Police found the weapon and testing revealed it to be the gun that fired the
fatal shot.
QUOTE: "It means in this particular case,
the system worked, it was thorough," Stephen
Dixon, whose mother was killed in the attack, said after watching Richard die. "The person executed deserved what he got."
Dixon said he wasn't too concerned with the delays. "I
was told to expect such things," he said.
"It's been a long 21 years."
