Texas Inmate Mark "Arab Slayer" Stroman Executed
(CNN) -- Texas inmate Mark Anthony Stroman was executed Wednesday for the killing of a man from India in what Stroman believed to be revenge for the September 11, 2001, attacks, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice said.
Stroman was put to death at 9:53 p.m. ET, the spokesman said.
Stroman, 41, made national headlines after he fatally shot Vasudev Patel during a shooting rampage after the 9/11 attacks. An admitted white supremacist, Stroman targeted those he believed were Middle Eastern in revenge for the attacks.
Patel was shot at the Mesquite, Texas, gas station that he operated.
A Pakistani man, Waqar Hasan, was also killed, and a Bangladeshi man, Rais Bhuiyan, was seriously wounded in separate attacks committed by Stroman, prosecutors said.
