Texas Executes Man Convicted in 2005 Triple Killing
Ker'Sean Ramey, 41, was put to death by lethal injection, the sixth execution carried out by Texas so far this year.
Texas executed Ker'Sean Ramey, 41, by lethal injection on Wednesday at the state penitentiary in Huntsville, after he was found guilty of fatally shooting three people during an attempted robbery at a rural Texas home in 2005.
Ramey's execution came a week after another man convicted in the same killings was put to death, according to reporting on the case. He is the sixth person executed in Texas so far this year, with three more executions scheduled over the next two months.
Case background
The killings for which Ramey was convicted took place during an attempted robbery at a home in a rural part of the state in 2005, resulting in the deaths of three people. Details of the original trial and sentencing were not included in initial reporting on the execution.
Texas has carried out capital punishment more frequently than most other states in recent years, and Wednesday's execution continues a pace that has included multiple executions already this year, with additional dates set for the coming months.
No additional comment from Ramey's legal representatives or from the victims' families was included in the initial report on the execution.
