Texas ties 1935 record for executions
HUNTSVILLE (AP) —A man convicted of killing a con
venience store clerk and a gang leader condemned for the
rape and murder of a teen-age girl were put to death
Wednesday in Texas’ first double execution in 21 /2 years.
Dorsie Johnson-Bey, 30, was pronounced dead at
6:18 p.m. CDT, eight minutes after a lethal dose of drugs
was released into his arms.
He was followed in the death chamber by Davis Losa-
da, 32, whom a doctor pronounced dead at 7:30 p.m.
Losada’s death brought to 20 the number of execu
tions in Texas already this year, equaling a single-year
record set in 1935 when the electric chair was the state’s
method of capital punishment.
The third and fourth executions in Texas this week also
marked the first double execution in the state since January
1995 and only the second multiple execution since capital
punishment was resumed with lethal injections in 1982.
Johnson-Bey spoke softly in a brief final statement,
saying “I’d like to tell my family I love them and always be
strong and keep their heads up and keep faith in Jesus."
Johnson-Bey’s brother, Doug, watched through glass
a few feet away and tapped on the window to get the in
mate’s attention. The condemned man looked toward his
brother and, as the drugs took effect, the brother ran to
ward the back of the chamber and was allowed to leave.
Losada expressed his innocence in a brief statement
from the death chamber gurney.
“If it matters to anybody, 1 didn’t kill Olga,” he said
of his victim.
Then he turned toward five relatives watching near
by and referred to them by name, expressing love and
thanks and urging them to “trust in God.”
Before his witnesses arrived, Losada chatted with a
chaplain and remarked, “This is nothing incredibly spe
cial. God is with me. Everything’s cool.”
He died six minutes after the lethal dose began
flowing into arms covered with tatoos, including one
of the Grim Reaper.
Construction
Continued from Page 1
Fischer also said the state has
tried to make the work as little
an inconvenience to drivers as
possible.
“Initially, we could have had
a plan where the road stayed
open, but reduced the number|(j 0
of lanes from four, two in each
direction, to two, one in eachdi- '$
rection,” Fischer said.
“But we realized how bad
that would be at eight in the
morning and five in the after
noon, especially for people go
ing to campus.”
Funding for the $4.8 million W
project, which is expected to be
completed next summer, is be
ing provided by both the state
of Texas and College Station, f®|
Hard said.
“The city has worked with the
state on tills, and we con- s .
tributed a sizable amount of*n
money ($700,000) to improve
College Station,” Hard said.
Once construction on the
nearly one-mile-long stretch of
Texas Avenue is completed, the
state hopes to begin improve
ments on the section of the^
road between Dominik Street]
and FM 2818.
