The Georgia Department of Corrections says an execution date has been set for Stacey Ian Humphreys, who was sentenced to death for the 2003 murders of two Cobb County real estate agents.

Humphreys was convicted and sentenced to death in 2007 after a jury found him guilty of killing Lori Brown, 21, and Cynthia Williams, 33, inside a model home at the Oakwind subdivision in Powder Springs. Prosecutors said the two women were kidnapped from the property, then shot and strangled, and their ATM and credit cards were stolen and later used to withdraw more than $3,000.

Because it was a death penalty case, the conviction was automatically appealed. Court records show his conviction and sentence were upheld through multiple appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court later declined to take up the case, even as three justices noted concerns raised about a juror issue.

The Department of Corrections ordered the execution to take place during the window of Dec. 17 through Dec. 23, with the commissioner scheduling it for Wednesday, Dec. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.
