Texas Man Convicted in Triple Murder Executed Days After Co-Defendant
Witness testimony and recovered guns helped convict Ramey, whose co-defendant was executed a week earlier, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Texas Department of Criminal Justice officials executed 41-year-old Sean Olajuwa Ramey by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, marking the sixth execution in Texas this year.
- Ramey and co-defendant LeJames Norman broke into a home in Edna, a town near Victoria, in 2005 intending to steal cocaine. During the encounter, Celso Lopez, Tiffani Peacock, and Sam Roberts were fatally shot.
- His 2007 conviction relied largely on witness testimony from Norman and Ramey's girlfriend, while Investigators located no physical DNA evidence. The girlfriend helped police recover two guns used in the murders.
- After a judge rejected Ramey's final legal bid on Monday, he expressed devotion to God and thanked fellow death row inmates in his final statement before execution on Wednesday.
- LeJames Norman, Ramey's co-defendant, was executed one week prior, becoming the fifth inmate put to death in Texas this year. The Texas Department is set to carry out three more lethal injections over the next two months.
