Texas Death Row Inmate Raymond Martinez
Raymond Martinez was convicted in the July 1983 robbery and shooting death of 40-year-old Herman Chavis, owner of a saloon in Houston. Chavis was shot four times after Martinez and accomplices robbed the bar and its customers.

Martinez fled to Fort Worth where Martinez shot and killed his sister and her boyfriend.

On July 21, 1983, Martinez killed a prostitute at a hotel in Houston because he didn't like her attitude.

Two days before the saloon robbery, Martinez and accomplices robbed two other lounges and killed a customer.
