About Christopher Chubasco Wilkins

  • Christopher Chubasco Wilkins (September 29, 1968 – January 11, 2017) was a Texas inmate sentenced to death and executed for a 2005 double murder.On October 27, 2005, Wilkins shot and killed Willie Freeman and Mike Silva.
  • Freeman had allegedly cheated Wilkins in a drug deal; Silva was with Freeman at the time and thus witnessed the killing.
  • The numbers "666" and a pentagram matching one of Wilkins' numerous tattoos were found carved into Silva's car at the scene of the murders.
  • Wilkins' fingerprints were also found.
  • The previous day, Wilkins also allegedly killed Gilbert Vallejo outside a bar in south Fort Worth after a dispute over a payphone. On October 28, Wilkins was arrested and charged with the murders of Freeman and Silva; he later also confessed to murdering Vallejo.
  • He was sentenced to death on March 12, 2008, after only 90 minutes of deliberation by the jury.
  • When asked by his defense lawyer if he wanted to die, Wilkins said: "I guess, subconsciously, I've been trying to get myself killed since I was 12 or 13 years old.
  • I don't have nothing to live for.
  • I haven't been any good to anybody for the last 20 years and I won't be for the next 20 or the 20 after that." Wilkins was initially scheduled to be executed on October 28, 2015 (which, coincidentally, was the 10th anniversary of his arrest).
