Jurors deliberated less than two hours before sentencing Eugene Al-vin Broxton, 37, to be executed by lethal injection Wednesday.

He was convicted April 30 in the shooting death of Sheila Dockens, 20. Waylon Dockens, 23, told jurors in State District Judge Mike McSpad-den's court that Broxton entered the 7S ly on a 13-year sentence for attempting to shoot Pasadena police Sgt. Walt Hays while fleeing a robbery in 1986. Broxton fired at least two shots at the officer before being captured in an apartment complex.

Under Texas law, a capital murder conviction carries only a life sentence or execution by lethal injection.
