Ramon Torres Hernandez

Hernandez was aided by his girlfriend, Asel Abdygapparova, in the murder of Rosado. She'd helped abduct Rosado and bought the shovel used to bury her. Abdygapparova was convicted of capital murder. Prosecutors sought a death sentence, but the jury spared her life and she was instead sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years. On appeal, Abdygapparova's conviction was overturned. In 2014, she pleaded no contest to murder, with her sentence capped at 28 years. She has since been paroled and deported to her native Kazakhstan. Abdygapparova had claimed she was scared when she participated in the murder.

On November 14, 2012, Hernandez was executed at the Huntsville Unit by lethal injection. His last words were addressed to his brother. He was the 14th inmate executed in Texas that year.

While Hernandez was initially never charged with killing Gonzales and Almares, investigators announced that the case was nevertheless solved. On October 21, 2002, Hernandez, who had made a full confession to the murders, was sentenced to death, and in a separate trial, Santos was also found guilty and sentenced to death. Asel was sentenced to life imprisonment for her role in Rosado's murder. Before his execution date could be set, Santos died on death row in January 2012, from natural causes.

Before the murders, Hernandez was in prison for burglary. During the course of the burglary, he raped a woman. Hernandez received an 18-year sentence and was paroled on June 11, 1993.
