Antonio Henry State ID#: 06010188 TDCJ#: 00828587
Placed in Parole review April 17, 2018
On Saturday, April 13, 1996, Jason Ramirez and his best friend left Baytown heading back to college in Austin,
TX around 8:00 PM. They stopped at San Jacinto Mall in Baytown to purchase books for school. Antonio Henry and 2 other offenders followed them from the mall to pick up another friend heading to Austin also. As soon as they pulled into the driveway Henry and his cohorts carjacked them. The car belonged to Jason's friend and they offered the carjackers the car but they made Jason drive around Baytown with a gun to his head for 45 minutes while Henry followed in the other car with Jason's friend. They stopped at a park and the two boys were forced to walk into a wooded area and was told to kneel down. Jason was shot in the back of the head. He had no chance. Jason's friend was shot 4 times as he ran through the woods and survived.
Antonio Henry received 45 years for aggravated robbery and attempted murder. He will only have served 22 years when he is considered for parole.
We, the undersigned, STRONGLY OPPOSE THE PAROLE of Antonio Henry. Justice demands he serve the full term given to him at the time he was sentenced for this heinous crime.

We are getting so close to that thousand mark and honestly my hands are shaking a bit just thinking about it because it feels like people are finally really listening. If you can just blast this link out to your groups or even just one person who might not know the story yet it could be the thing that pushes us over the edge before the board looks at his records again.

I honestly never expected this kind of momentum when I started typing this up at my kitchen table, but seeing so many people standing with us is just overwhelming in the best way. It feels like people are finally listening to what happened to Jason and that gives me a strange, nervous kind of hope that maybe things can actually change.

I just spent the last hour reading through the comments here and it is honestly overwhelming to see so many people acknowledging the absolute brutality of what happened to Jason. It is hard to keep my head together knowing someone like Henry might actually walk free soon but I am buried in paperwork now making sure the board sees exactly what kind of person they are dealing with.

Look this was a heartless and senseless killing. I went to school with this kid. He was not a punk, a joke or a character. He was a good dude. Ol' boy snuff him out for nothing but stuff. He should finish his sentence...
The hardships this family has endured living without their precious Jason is tremendous. Jason is not able to continue his life, so his murderer shouldn’t be able to either. He should pay the entire price and serve his entire sentence.
This individual should not ever be released. He murdered my friend in cold blood, and almost killed my other friend. No mercy was shown to either of my friends that night, so no mercy should be shown to this individual now. 22 years is not long enough to serve for what he did.
This offender needs to serve his entire sentence. Jason was a young man with a life full of potential and all the opportunity he had before him was stolen for a car.
All three of these men had no remorse for the crimes they committed. They bragged about them about at party right after. It shouldn’t even be a consideration for parole for the murder of Jason and the attempted murder of James Coker.
"Need" to pay with his life,and the ones that were with him.
He was such a great friend!

He should serve his full sentence. Was a teammate of his in high school and it still sickens me when I think of what Tony chris and Jaray did to those two guys.
