Richard Lee Tabler , 46 , was given a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville .

"There is not a day that goes by that I don't regret my actions," he says.

Tabler was condemned for the Thanksgiving 2004 shooting deaths of Mohammed-Amine Rahmouni , 28 , and Haitham Zayed , 25 .

He also confessed to killing two teenage girls who worked at the club, Tiffany Dotson and Amanda Benefield .

Prosecutors say Tabler also killed Dotson and Benefield days later because he was worried they would tell people he killed them.

Investigators said before he was arrested, he called the Bell County Sheriff's office to taunt deputies about the murders.

Tabler was convicted of killing a husband and wife during a fishing trip at a remote farm while their toddler looked on.
