David Hicks Case

A man was executed Thursday for beating his elderly grandmother, then returning to her house, raping her and fatally shattering her skull.

David Hicks was 26 and recently released from jail when he left 88-year-old Ocolor Hegger for dead, her skull shattered with a wooden doorstop, a prosecutor said. Semen found at the scene was matched to Hicks.

A neighbor found Hegger’s body sprawled on the kitchen floor of her small frame house in Teague on the morning of April 26, 1988.

Hicks and a cousin went to her house on the night of the murder because the cousin owed her money, Freestone County Dist. Atty. Bob Gage said.

Hicks, given a lethal injection, was the third inmate executed in Texas this year. Four more executions are scheduled this month.
