The Supreme Court rejected Ramey’s final appeal hours before he was put to death at Huntsville prison
A man convicted of murdering three people in their apartment while searching for drugs to steal was executed in Texas on Wednesday evening, a week after his accomplice was put to death for the same killings.
Ker’Sean Ramey, 41, died by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville and was pronounced dead at 6:34 p.m. CDT, The Associated Press reported.
In the execution chamber, a prison chaplain rested his hand on Ramey’s shoulder before leading him in a brief prayer. The warden then asked Ramey if he had any last words, the AP reported.
Ramey praised God and thanked his friends, family and fellow death row inmates, whom he called his brothers.
