AUSTIN, Texas—Texas plans to execute a man on Tuesday convicted of murdering a store owner during a 2004 robbery despite calls from some relatives of the victim to spare the life of the inmate whom they say they have forgiven.
Texas is set to execute Christopher Young, 34, by lethal injection at 6 p.m. at its death chamber in Huntsville for the murder of Hasmukh Patel at his convenience store in San Antonio.
