Shaka Sankofa (born Gary Lee Graham; September 5, 1963 – June 22, 2000) was a Texas death-row inmate who was sentenced to death at the age of 17 for the murder of 53-year-old Bobby Grant Lambert during a deadly 1981 crime spree in Houston, Texas, that also included at least 10 armed robberies and a rape. Sankofa was scheduled to be executed five times: once in 1987, three times in 1993 (April, in which Lambert’s widow Loretta appealed to Governor Ann Richards to spare Sankofa’s life; May and August), and once on January 11, 1999; each time he was given a stay of execution before it was later lifted. He was executed by lethal injection on June 22, 2000, in Huntsville, Texas.
