Summary of Offense:
Randall Wayne Mays was sentenced by the same jury that convicted him Friday on a capital murder charge. His brother, Noble Mays, Jr., was executed in 1995 for the fatal stabbing of a Good Samaritan who agreed to help him with a disabled car. Henderson County sheriff's deputies Tony Price Ogburn and Paul Steven Habelt died and a third deputy was injured in May 2007 in a shootout at Mays' house in Payne Springs, about 50 miles southeast of Dallas. They were responding to a domestic disturbance call made by a neighbor who reported hearing gunshots on Mays' property. After appearing to cooperate with the deputies, Mays barricaded himself inside his house, where he used a high-powered rifle to shoot at officers. Mays was convicted in Ogburn's death.
Mays was sentenced to death in Henderson County on May 16, 2008.
