Ker'Sean Ramey, 41, spoke in his last words of praising God and thanking his friends, his family and the men he called his brothers on death row, who he said had shown him what it means to be a man. The State of Texas executed him by lethal injection of pentobarbital at the state penitentiary in Huntsville on September 23, 2026, and a physician pronounced him dead at 6:34 p.m. Hours earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his final appeal. His attorneys argued that jurors never heard evidence of the physical abuse and poverty he experienced as a child.

Cause of death, as reported: Executed by the state. His attorneys argued in a final appeal, rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court, that jurors never heard about his childhood physical abuse and poverty.

Reported by: Texas Department of Criminal Justice (the agency that held him); news reports of the execution.
