HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A Fort Worth man on death row for a fatal shooting during a robbery at mini-golf amusement center a decade ago has received an execution date.
Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark says prison agency officials have received notice a judge in Tarrant County has set Paul David Storey for lethal injection April 12 in Huntsville.
Storey, who turns 32 Saturday, was convicted of the October 2006 slaying of 28-year-old Jonas Cherry. Cherry was a manager at a Putt-Putt mini-golf center in Hurst, just northeast of Fort Worth. Evidence showed $150 was taken in the robbery and that Storey previously worked there.
An accomplice of Storey’s pleaded guilty and took a life sentence.
Storey is among at least six Texas inmates with execution dates in the coming months.
