Ramiro González was executed by the state of Texas on Wednesday through lethal injection for the 2011 rape and murder of a woman in the state, local outlets reported. He is the second person to be executed by the state this year so far.
González was killed with a lethal dose of pentobarital and pronounced dead at 6:50 p.m., the state's Department of Criminal Justice said. He was already serving a life sentence for the abduction and rape of another woman in 2002 when he confessed to the same crime of a Texas woman, Bridget Townsend, in Medina County, west of San Antonio, and told police where her remains were.
