Tyrone Delano Gilliam Jr. (August 29, 1966 – November 16, 1998)[2] was an American convicted murderer executed by the state of Maryland in 1998.
The three men car-jacked Doerfler as she got out of her car in a parking lot, and when they found that she only had three dollars on her, they forced her to go to an ATM and withdraw cash.
During the drive to the ATM, they changed their minds, and after pulling over in a secluded area, Gilliam shot Doerfler in the head with a sawed-off shotgun.
Judge John Fader of the Circuit Court for Baltimore County found Gilliam guilty of first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, use of a handgun in the commission of a felony and kidnapping.
[9] He was pronounced dead at 10:27 p.m. Gilliam's last hope had been a petition for clemency to Governor Parris Glendening, which was rejected the previous day.
