Anthony Shore
Anthony Shore, 55, was executed by the State of Texas by lethal injection of pentobarbital on January 18, 2018, at the Huntsville Unit in Huntsville, after more than 13 years on death row. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice recorded the execution, and a Texas Tribune report said he apologized to the families of his victims in his last moments. His lawyer said Shore never confessed to a Montgomery County murder that prosecutors had looked into before the execution. An Associated Press reporter who witnessed the execution said Shore described a burning sensation during the injection, and he was pronounced dead 13 minutes after it was given.
Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state. His lawyer said Shore never confessed to a Montgomery County murder that prosecutors had looked into before the execution.
