    Tracy Allen Hampton - Arizona Death Row





    Facts of the Crime:

    On May 18, 2001, Tracy Allen Hampton shot and killed Charles Findley and Tanya Ramsdell at 802 E. Roberts Road in Phoenix. Ramsdell was five months pregnant at the time.

    Hampton, who bore tattoos of skulls and slogans such as "White power," was a white supremacist. Findley's family had befriended him when he was homeless.

    Hampton shot Findley in the forehead because he had identified him to state Department of Safety Officers trying to serve him with a traffic ticket. Seconds later, he kicked in Tanya's bedroom door and put a .40-caliber bullet in her forehead.

    Prosecutors said Hampton killed Ramsdell because he believed her baby's father was a black man.

    It appears that Tracy Hampton along side Pete Vanwinkle murdered Kenneth Thompson.

    Both have 1st Degree Murder logged on their infraction's sheets for 12/29/2021 which is the exact day that this murder occurred. They were both working in the building where Thompson was killed as well and removed off the detail the day of the murder. And both were reclassified to Close as for security risk meaning they can't be housed with any other inmates nor interact with any unsupervised.

    Their verdict in this was guilty for both by their security officers so I assume at this point they are both being held in segregation until a decision will decided whether or not the state is going for death for both of them.

    Both of these two inmates are members of the Aryan Brotherhood. Pretty much guaranteed this was gang related.
    "There is a point in the history of a society when it becomes so pathologically soft and tender that among other things it sides even with those who harm it, criminals, and does this quite seriously and honestly. Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche
