John Allen Muhammad Execution, John Allen Muhammad, sentenced to death row prisoner, is implemented. U.S. Supreme Court rejected the appeal, suspend the implementation of Muhammad.

John Allen Muhammad , a lawyer argued that his client was mentally ill when he’s shooting victims. Muhammad is alleged to suffer from Gulf War Syndrome.

John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, his teenage accomplice, allegedly committed the shootings in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC.

Muhammad, 48, was convicted of capital murder in the slaying of Dean Harold Meyers on Oct. 9, 2002, at a gas station outside of Manassas, part of a spree that left 10 people dead in the Washington area and included shootings in several other states. A jury in Virginia Beach, where the trial was moved to get an impartial panel, sentenced Muhammad to death nearly six years ago.

Meyers, 53, was Muhammad’s ninth shooting victim in the region and the seventh to die. All had been doing mundane things such as pumping gas, shopping or walking on a public street. The slayings gripped the region and the country. Many outdoor activities were postponed or canceled and people hesitated to go about their daily routines.

Though authorities were never able to specify a motive for the shootings — Muhammad never talked to police — and were unable to say whether he or Malvo actually shot the victims, they were able to link the shootings to the sniper team and their “killing machine,” a modified blue Chevrolet sedan and a Bushmaster .223 rifle.
