Texas is set to execute a second man convicted in 2005 triple killing - EverythingLubbock.com

Ker'Sean Ramey, 41, is scheduled to die by lethal injection Wednesday at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for his part in a 2005 triple killing during an attempted robbery in Edna, Texas.

A jury convicted Ramey of capital murder for the shooting deaths of Samuel Roberts, 24, Tiffani Peacock, 18, and Celso Lopez, 38, inside the home they shared in the small city, located about 100 miles southwest of Houston. His execution comes a week after the other man convicted in the same killings was put to death.

The case has drawn renewed attention as Texas works through a run of scheduled executions this year. Ramey would become the sixth person executed in the state in 2025, with three more executions already on the calendar.

For families connected to the 2005 killings, the back-to-back executions close out two decades of legal proceedings tied to a single night in Edna. Texas's pace of executions this year shows no sign of slowing.

Two men convicted in the same triple murder are now dead within a week of each other, a rare pairing that puts a two-decade-old case back in the headlines statewide.
