Convicted in the September 1990 robbery and murder of Tracy A. Gee, 22, in Houston. Tracy had worked late that night as an assistant manager at the Houston City Club. She had to work double shifts to cover for her pregnant sister, the club's manager. Gee was forced to work later than usual due to computer problems. She was later discovered face down in a pool of blood.

Lionell and his cousin, James Gonzales, pulled up next to Gee's car at a red light at the intersection of N. Braeswood and Rice Blvd. Lionell abruptly declared his intention to rob Gee, leveled an M1 rifle across the gap through Gee's vehicle's driver's side closed window, and fired once, striking Gee in the temple. Lionell pushed Gee's body onto the pavement, took the victim's car, and drove away, with Gonzales following.

Gonzales was later pulled over for driving without taillights and told cops that Lionell murdered the young woman. Lionell was arrested in Fort Bend County four hours later while driving Gee's car. His pants were bloodied, and he had brain matter in his hair. He made a complete confession.

Final Meal: Refused.

Final Words:
"You have every right to hate me. You have every right to want to see this. To you and my family, you all don't deserve to see this. It is the right thing to do. None of this should have happened. I've got a good family just like you're a good family. I couldn’t do this in a letter,” I had to do this face to face, eye to eye.” Lionell said he hoped that Gee's family could put aside any bitterness because of what he did. "I'm responsible. I'm responsible. I'm sorry to you all. This should have never happened." He thanked his relatives adding, "We'll see each other again." He muttered a brief prayer, mouthed them a kiss and closed his eyes as the lethal drugs began to take effect.
