Ramiro Gonzales, a Texas inmate, is set to be executed on Wednesday evening for the 2001 murder of an 18-year-old woman. Gonzales admitted to kidnapping, sexually assaulting, and fatally shooting the victim, who was the girlfriend of his drug dealer. The execution date coincides with what would have been the victim's 41st birthday. Despite arguments from his lawyers that Gonzales is no longer a threat and not eligible for the death penalty, the state of Texas is proceeding with the execution. A psychiatrist who previously testified that Gonzales was likely to reoffend has since changed his opinion, stating that Gonzales no longer poses a threat.
