JACKSON, Ga. — A man convicted of killing a woman he met at a Georgia nightclub was put to death Thursday after losing a last-minute round of appeals.

Marcus Ray Johnson, 50, was declared dead at 10:11 p.m. at the state prison in Jackson, Georgia Department of Corrections officials said. Johnson was convicted in the March 1994 rape and murder of Angela Sizemore in Albany.

Johnson declined to make a final statement or have a prayer said for him. The warden left the execution chamber at 9:44 p.m. Records from previous executions show the lethal drug generally starts flowing within minutes after the warden’s exit.

Brian Kammer, an attorney for Johnson, had argued his client shouldn’t be executed because doubts remained about his guilt. Prosecutors said there was no doubt Johnson killed Sizemore.
