Murder Story

On December 8, 1985, Freddie Lee Webb and an accomplice approached Leopoldo Cantu and his wife, Elizabeth, after they finished closing a restaurant. They forced the couple to return to the restaurant to help them access the safe. Elizabeth later testified that Webb assured them they would not be harmed during the robbery. However, after they obtained the money, Webb realized he might be recognized by Leo Cantu.

To prevent this, Webb and his accomplice left Elizabeth tied up in the restaurant. They took Leo to a remote area in Corsicana, Texas, where he was shot five times and left to die. Elizabeth eventually freed herself and called the authorities, but it was too late for Leo.

Webb was arrested on March 29, 1986, after committing another robbery. It was found that he had the murder weapon in his possession at the time of his arrest. Webb had been out of prison for only 11 months following a previous sentence for serious crimes.

He received the death penalty in a trial that concluded with the jury affirmatively answering questions necessary for a death sentence. Webb was executed by lethal injection on March 31, 1994. His last statement was simply "Peace."
