OKLAHOMA CITY (July 14, 2026) – Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond commended the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board today for denying clemency for convicted murderer Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez.
Cuesta-Rodriguez was sentenced to death for brutally murdering Olimpia Fisher in 2003. He stalked and abused the mother of two for months before shooting her twice in the face and killing her at their home in Oklahoma City. Fisher’s 18-year-old pregnant daughter was just a few feet away when the first shot was fired through her mother’s right eye. About eight minutes later, Cuesta-Rodriguez fired the fatal shot through her left eye.
“Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez violently assaulted and murdered an innocent mother,” Drummond said. “Olimpia’s family has endured heartbreak for 23 years. Justice will be served when the death penalty is carried out on Aug. 13.”
