EXECUTION OF “TOURNIQUET KILLER” SET FOR TONIGHT
(Texas Dept. of Corrections)
A man who became known as Houston's "Tourniquet Killer" is set to become the nation's first prisoner executed in 2018.
Texas prison officials are scheduled to give 55-year-old Anthony Allen Shore lethal injection tonight for the 1992 strangling of a 21-year-old woman whose body was dumped in the drive-thru of a Houston Dairy Queen.
In 1998, Shore received eight years' probation and became a registered sex offender for sexually assaulting two relatives. Five years later, he was arrested for the 1992 slaying of Maria del Carmen Estrada after a tiny particle recovered from under her fingernail was matched to his DNA.
He also confessed to killing other females; a 9-year-old and two teenagers.
