Ohio killer of 2 former co-workers faces execution

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A man who murdered two former co-workers and tried to kill a third at a veterinary supply warehouse in northeast Ohio faces execution on Tuesday.

Gov. Ted Strickland has rejected clemency for Roderick Davie, a day before his scheduled death by injection. Davie’s attorney says he has no pending appeals.

The 38-year-old Davie was moved Monday to the prison in Lucasville in southern Ohio that houses the state’s execution chamber.

Davie has admitted to killing John Coleman and Tracey Jeffreys and shooting another man months after he was fired in 1991 from a pet supply company in Warren, near Youngstown.

The man who survived being shot in the head by Davie plans to watch the execution.
