A 38-year-old man who won his legal fight to have his pastor beside him during his execution was put to death Wednesday night in Huntsville for the 2004 murder of a Corpus Christi convenience store clerk.
Lethal drugs were injected into John Henry Ramirez at 6:27 p.m. inside the state’s Huntsville Unit, and he was declared dead 14 minutes later, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Ramirez had been sentenced to death for the murder of Pablo Castro, 46, who was fatally stabbed 29 times during a robbery while taking out the trash at the convenience store where he worked.
