Ker'Sean Ramey, 41, was executed by lethal injection at the Texas state penitentiary in Huntsville on Wednesday evening. He was pronounced dead at 6:34 p.m. CDT. Ramey was convicted in 2007 for the 2005 killings of Samuel Roberts, Tiffani Peacock, and Celso Lopez in the small city of Edna. The murders occurred when Ramey and his accomplice, LeJames Norman, broke into the victims' home searching for drugs. When they didn't find any, they fatally shot all three individuals. Court documents reveal that Ramey even returned to the scene to shoot the victims a second time to ensure they were deceased. Before the procedure, Ramey offered a final message, praising God and thanking his fellow death row inmates, whom he described as brothers who helped him understand manhood. His execution comes exactly one week after Norman was put to death for his role in the same crimes. Ramey’s final appeal to the Supreme Court was denied earlier that day. His legal team had argued that jurors didn’t see enough evidence regarding his traumatic childhood and poverty. Prosecutors dismissed these claims, citing his escalating criminal history. ## Why it matters This marks the sixth execution in Texas for 2026. With three more lethal injections scheduled in the coming months, the state is continuing to carry out its current death penalty calendar as the legal system closes the book on this high-profile 2005 case.
