  John
  Thanos

  John Frederick Thanos, 45, was executed by lethal injection in May 1994 for the murder of three Maryland teenagers, Gregory A. Taylor, 18, Billy Winebrenner, 16, and Melody Pistorio, 14, in 1990. He was the first prisoner to be executed under Maryland's reinstated death penalty protocol involving lethal injections. The injection consisted of sodium pentothal (to induce sleep), pancuronium bromide (paralyzer) and potassium chloride (which stops electrical impulses in the body). It was Maryland’s first execution in nearly 33 years.

  Flint
  Hunt

  Flint Gregory Hunt, 38, was executed in July 1997 for leading Baltimore police officer, Vincent J. Adolfo, on a car chase and shooting him with a .357-caliber Magnum Blackhawk pistol in the chest in an East Baltimore alley in November 1985, killing him. Hunt was one of the last two on Maryland's death row to have a choice between execution by gas or lethal injection. He chose lethal injection. Executions that followed were administered with injections.

  Tyrone Gilliam

  Tyrone Delano Gilliam Jr., 32, was executed in November 1998 after being convicted for the carjacking, robbing and killing of 21-year-old Christine Doerfler with a shotgun in Baltimore County. Gilliam and two co-defendants abducted the 21-year-old on Dec. 2, 1988, as she arrived at her sister's home. Gilliam told reporters in court he was too heavily drugged during the incident to remember what happened. Gilliam and two companions, brothers Kelvin LeGrant Drummond and Delano Anthony "Tony" Drummond, got $3 in the 1988 robbery.

  Steven
  Oken

  Steven Howard Oken, 42, was put to death in June 2004 after being convicted of the rape and murder of Dawn Garvin and the killing of two other women, Patricia Hirt and Lori Ward, during a violent two-week rampage that took place in both Maryland and Maine in November 1987. After 17 years of trials and appeals, federal courts denied Oken’s appeals and then Maryland Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. declined to grant clemency, a request to spare a person from execution. Oken was ultimately executed in Maryland for the Garvin and Hirt murders.

  Wesley Baker

  Wesley Eugene Baker, 47, was executed in December 2005 for robbing and fatally shooting Jane Tyson in a Catonsville mall parking lot in June 1991. Baker was within a week of execution in May 2002 when Gov. Parris N. Glendening, a Democrat, imposed a moratorium after a state-sponsored study conducted by the University of Maryland showed racial and geographical disparities in the application of the death penalty. He was subjected to a lethal injection in 2005.
