The Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) announced 52-year-old Stacey Humphreys last meal request, who is scheduled to be executed in Butts County on Wednesday, Dec. 17, by lethal injection.
Humphreys was found guilty of murdering two women, Cyndi Williams, 33, and Lori Brown, 21, in 2003. The two were shot and killed in a real estate office in an Atlanta suburb where they both worked.
Our sister station, WXIA, previously reported that Humphrey’s was found guilty in 2007 on two charges of murder. They also noted that Humphreys will be the first, and likely only, inmate executed in 2025.
On Wednesday, the Associated Press reported that a federal judge declined to halt Humphreys’ execution.
