a Harris County jury voted to give Anthony Allen Shore the death penalty. 
District Judge Caprice Cosper read the sentence. He was sentenced to die for raping and strangling 4 young females over a 9-year period. Shore was convicted last week of capital murder in the death of 21-year-old Maria Del Carmen Estrada, who was sexually assaulted and strangled in April 1992.
Jurors also heard testimony from three women he raped, including 2 from his own family.
Shore was arrested last year after new DNA tests on scrapings found under Estrada's fingernails. His DNA was on file because he had pleaded guilty in 1998 to molesting two young relatives.
Confronted by police, Shore confessed to killing Estrada, as well as Laurie Lee Tremblay, 15, who was found dead in September 1986; Dana Sanchez, 16, found dead in July 1995; and Diana Rebollar, 9, found dead in April 1994.
Shore, 42, did not testify but instructed his attorneys last week to relay his request for the death penalty. If he waives his appeals, he could be executed within 2 years.
