Convicted in the robbery and shooting death of Andrew Lastrapes. Green and two co-defendants were riding around pulling robberies when they spotted Lastrapes in the parking lot of a convenience store.

Last Statement:
“Yes. Man, there is a lot of people there. There was a lot of people that got me to this point, and I can't thank them all. But thank you for your love and support; they have allowed me to do a lot more than I could have on my own. Sheila, I wish I would have met you seven years ago; it would have been a lot easier. But I have overcame a lot. I am not angry, but I am disappointed that I was denied justice. But I am happy that I was afforded you all as family and friends. You all have been there for me; it's a miracle. I love you. And I have to tell Jessica I am sorry. I never knew it would come to this. Lorna, you know you have to keep my struggle going. I know you just lost your baby; but you have to keep running. Andy, I love you man. Tell Andre and them that I didn't get a chance to reach my full potential, but you can help them reach theirs. You needed me, but I just did not know how to be there for them. There is so much I have to say, but I just can't say it all. I love you all. Please just keep the struggle going. If you turn your back on me, you turn your back on them. I love you all and I'll miss you all. Thanks for allowing me to touch so many hearts. I never knew I could do it, but you made it possible. I am just sorry. And I am not as strong as I thought I was going to be. But I guess it only hurts for a little while. You all are my family. Please keep my memory alive.”

Dominique Jerome Green, 30, was executed October 26, 2004 at 7:59 p.m. by lethal injection in the Walls Correctional Facility at Huntsville, Texas for the October 14, 1992 murder of Andrew Lastrapes, Jr., 41.
Green and three other men took part in a series of robberies in the Houston area over a period of several hours, starting on October 13, 1992, and continuing into the early morning hours of the following day. After 6 a.m. October 14, the men ended up at a convenience store, where they confronted Andrew Lastrapes in the store parking lot and demanded his money. When Lastapes refused, Green shot him with a Tech-9 semi-automatic gun, then took $50 from his wallet. Green and his accomplices split the proceeds of their robberies. Three days later, Green was driving a vehicle stolen from a robbery victim and led Houston Police on a high speed chase for almost 50 miles until swerving off the road into a ditch in Brazoria County. Green fled on foot, but was eventually arrested hiding in a nearby field. Others in the car were also arrested. A loaded Tech 9 semi-automatic gun, identified as the murder weapon, was found in the vehicle. Following arraignment, Green admitted to being present at the scene of the murder, but claimed that he was only a "lookout." At trial, nine victims identified Green as the person who robbed them during a 3-day crime spree.
