A death row inmate was executed after killing his own baby, leaving behind disturbing last words.

Travis Mullis, a 38-year-old man, was put to death by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas on Tuesday. This was the sentence he received in 2008 for taking the life of his own three-month-old son, Alijiah. In his final moments, he referred to his execution as an "assisted suicide" in his last words.

Mullis had chosen to waive his right to appeal his execution, hoping to speed up the process. He expressed no regrets about this decision, but did express deep remorse for the terrible choice that led to the death of his son. It was revealed that Mullis had attacked Alijiah after attempting to assault another child in January of 2008. At that time, he was living with his girlfriend and their baby in a friend's house, along with the friend's eight-year-old daughter.

In a confession given just days after the killing, Mullis explained that he had tried to molest the young girl while they were at a playground. When she refused, he became upset and decided to take her home. Mullis then confided in his girlfriend about what had happened, and they both feared that they would be kicked out of their friend's home once the girl's father found out.

Feeling overwhelmed and panicked, Mullis decided to take his son for a drive in an attempt to "figure out their next steps". During the drive, Alijiah began to cry uncontrollably, causing Mullis to reach his breaking point. In a state of extreme stress, Mullis believed that the only way to make his son stop crying was to end his life.

He then strangled and stomped on the baby, but police discovered evidence that he had also molested him before dumping his body on the side of the road. Mullis fled and was on the run for three days before surrendering himself in Philadelphia. In 2011, he was sentenced to death and seven years later, he made a motion to waive his appeals in hopes of expediting his execution date. He stated that he was guilty and that the death penalty was a justified punishment for his actions.

Mullis was declared dead at 7pm, with no family members present to witness his execution. It is a tragic and heartbreaking story, one that serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences of terrible choices.
