What did he do?
Owens, 46, was sentenced to death in 1999 in connection to the 1997 Halloween murder of 41-year-old Irene Graves at the Speedway convenience store. He was convicted of murder, armed robbery and criminal conspiracy.
Attorneys have filed at least two appeals seeking to reduce his sentence to life in prison but both were denied, with the most recent one in September 2006.
According to court documents, Owens and another person robbed the store on Nov. 1, 1997. Prosecutors said he and friends robbed several businesses before going to the store.
During the robbery, Owens shot Graves in the head after she had told the group that she could not open the store safe.
During the trial, prosecutors showed surveillance footage of the store, and one of the friends involved testified that Owens had been the shooter. The surveillance footage used in the case did not clearly show who fired the shot.
