Reflections for Sergeant William Leo McEntee

Going on 19 years and something will still trigger a memory that brings tears to my eyes. But also a laugh, which this one did....missing you today.

It's sad that people mourn the perpetrator of this cowardly crime.

I mourn for the senseless murder of Sgt Mcentee and the loss to his family by a cowardly felon.

I pray to God that the family of Sgt. Mcentee gets some sort of relief from the execution of this evil, vile creature.

It's sad for all parties.
Sad for sgt Mcentee's family but also sad for Mr. Johnson's family.
Two lives needlessly taken away.

I have been following this case ever since I heard about the killer. This hero deserved justice and the family deserved a father, husband, son, and brother. I'm glad this came to a close and the family can finally have some peace and closure. As the son of law enforcement officers I sympathize with the family. God bless.

Sergeant William Leo McEntee,

Today November 29th 2022 the coward responsible for your murder was put to death by lethal injection. I hope this brings closure to your family that his life was ended like yours was on that tragic night in July of 2005. Rip.

The murderer has completed serving his sentence!

Certainly not a cause for celebration, but perhaps Sgt. McEntee's family, friends, and colleagues can now talk more about how he lived, and less about how he died.

Justice has been served. The coward who took your life was executed today by lethal injection. He will no longer take another breath.

You are a true hero and I hope the McEntee family gets the closure they deserve. This was a very hard read what happened to you and I pray for the entire McEntee family. RIP Sgt.

As a woman of color, Naturally I wanted to know the details of the story after reading an article titled : Judge Denies 19-Year-Old's Request To Witness Her Father's Execution, only to learn this officer was killed cold blooded with no chance to defend himself or grow old to hold his own grand children as the offender was allowed to hold his grandson. This is all bad. I would want Justice for my husbands murder but I would also want to be present when my father was to take his last breaths. I’m sure the killer has lived with regret however in this country their are consequences to actions that involve murder. People should be killed however they took the life of a person so if that is by stabbing, shooting, suffocation etc. That is how they should die. It would bring down the crime rate if people knew they would get the same death as the life they took aside from accidental death situations. Rabbit hole… This is very unfortunate and May both families receive comfort and closure.

The death penalty has nothing to do with racism. The killing of the police officer is the reason for death penalty.
Enough with racism B.S.
Obey the law if you want to live.

Lots of news about Kevin Johnson in the press right now.

Mr. McEntee, R.I.P. You and your family are in our thoughts. This must be a hard time for you. William McEntee died a hero. Kevin Johnson will not.

I find it ironic that the daughter of the killer of Sergeant William Leo McEntee wants to be there to support her father at his execution. I wonder if Sergeant William Leo McEntee's daughter and two sons would like an opportunity to see their father before he was executed by Mr. Johnson. It makes me sad that anyone would think that the passage of time makes it easier on the victim's children. Justice needs to be preserved.

I can't understand why he was in death row for so long.

My heart goes out to both families as this is a loss for both of them. I pray that his daughter raises her child to know and serve the Lord.

I came across this article since the Killer Daughter is Asking for Clemency I concur with Andrew. This Sgt. Was brutally murdered for no reason what so ever. May he RIP and looking forward for killer execution on 11/29/22.

May God Bless Officer McEntee's family. I pray that there is some modicum of peace that washes over this family on 11.29.22. I'm so sorry that ya'll have had to live your lives, the past 17+ years, without your husband, dad, brother, son, grandson, uncle, friend and fellow officer. Rest In Continued Peace, Officer McEntee. And thank you for 20 years of heroic service.
