OKLAHOMA CITY (May 14, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond made the following comments today after the execution of Raymond Johnson at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester.

“Justice has been served for Brooke Whitaker and her infant daughter, Kya. Their lives were taken far too soon in a heinous act of violence,” Drummond said. “I pray that Brooke's and Kya’s family find some measure of peace today after enduring unimaginable pain and grief for nearly two decades.”

Johnson was sentenced to death for the 2007 murders of the Whitakers.
