“I can’t say I’m sorry because we never got an apology,” said the family of his late girlfriend, who he had murdered.

In 1988, Byron was convicted for shooting his 29-year-old Angela Clay, during what prosecutors called a ‘jealous rage.’

He also shot her daughters, 9-year-old Latoya Clay and 6-year-old Lakeisha Clay.

Angela’s family later told Nashville police that Byron had threatened harm towards her when she had told she was thinking about ending the relationship.

When he murdered them, he was on work-release while serving time for shooting Angela’s estranged husband, Bennie Clay.

Investigation later revealed that the daughters were shot while they were sleeping. The younger one, Lakeisha, tried to escape but did not manage to do so.
