Edward Lagrone, 46, was executed for a triple slaying where one of the victims was a 10-year-old girl pregnant with his child. Lagrone was pronounced dead at 6:18 p.m. Evidence showed Shakeisha Lloyd was 17 weeks pregnant when Lagrone, who was released in 1984 after serving seven years of a 20-year prison term for murder, barged into her family's home about 4 a.m. on May 30, 1991, and began shooting. 2 of the girl's great-aunts, Zenobia Anderson, 83, and Caolo Lloyd, 74, deaf, blind and bedridden with cancer, also were killed. An uncle was wounded. DNA evidence immediately linked him to the fetus of the girl who was killed. Authorities believed Lagrone was enraged because Shakeisha's mother, Pamela Lloyd, wouldn't drop a sexual assault complaint she filed against him for impregnating her daughter even though he offered to pay her and pay for an abortion. Lagrone becomes the 5th condemned inmate to be put to death this year in Texas.
