Bruce Suzuski

Bruce Suzuski (June 10, 1988 - June 1, 2021) was an American pool cleaner, school soccer player, self-proclaimed musician/actor, and killer. He was sentenced to death in 2013 for the murder of an unidentified drug addict (possibly dealer). He was executed in 2021.

Early Life and Education
Bruce was born in Las Vegas to grocer Skylar (born 1961) and travel agent Landon (1941 - 2018). He had two younger siblings, sister Julia (born 1991), a General Manger for Mikayla Parmelo Travel Agency, and brother Ramell (born 1998), a hairdresser for Ally Salon Las Vegas. The family also had a cat, Toby.

Suzuski showed interest in music and acting at a young age. He practiced guitar and piano at the age of six, and voice lessons from age eight. He also pickpocketed and burglarized criminals at age eleven and his teen years. He played soccer in high school and accepted an athletic scholarship to college, while also majoring in music. However, he was kicked off the college soccer team in his sophomore year due to poor grades.

After graduating college, Suzuki tried to become a singer, but he never got a callback from any record labels. He still continued practicing voices.

Pool Cleaning Career
In 2003, Suzuski started working at Las Vegas Pool as a cleaner. It was possibly the scheduling of his job that caused his college grades to drop, thus causing his removal from the soccer team. He kept working as a pool cleaner until his conviction in 2013.

Personal Life
Suzuski married his middle and high school sweetheart, Anita Grande-Herrera, in 2008 during his junior year in college. Their daughter, Layla, was born in 2011. Whenever he found time, Bruce taught Layla music and acting the way he was taught. In 2020, while Suzuski was still in prison, he and Grande-Herreea divorved one year before his execution.
