On Thursday, Brown died by lethal injection at a prison in West Livingston, Texas, marking the fifth execution in the state this year.
, who was convicted of a quadruple homicide in 1992, died by lethal injection Thursday in Texas after sitting on death row for nearly 30 years.
Two others were also shot in the attack, including Jose's wife, Rachel Tovar, and Nicholas Cortez, an acquaintance who entered the house during the shootings. While delivering his final words, Brown once again proclaimed his innocence in the case, saying his death will mean that"Texas will kill a second innocent man for a murder that occurred in 1992."
Earlier this month, Brown's legal team asked the court for a stay in his execution to review additional evidence that his attorneys claim was withheld by a previous Harris County District Attorney's Office for decades. Benjamin Wolff, director of the Office of Capital and Forensic Writs and Brown's attorney, previously toldthat his client was"an intellectually disabled man who has spent the last 30 years of his life on Texas death row for a crime he didn't commit.
