Texas executed a death row inmate who was convicted for the murders of five people, including children, on Thursday evening after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request to stay the execution.

Abel Ochoa, 47, was pronounced dead at 6:48 p.m. local time after he was administered a lethal dose of pentobarbital at a prison in Huntsville, Texas, according to The Associated Press.
