Eddie Mays

Eddie Lee Mays (c. 1929 – August 15, 1963) was convicted of murder and robbery in 1962 and executed by the State of New York in 1963.

During a robbery of a bartender and several customers in a bar in Harlem, New York City, Mays shot and killed one of the customers, 31 year old Maria Marini. Mays was sentenced to death for this crime and executed in the electric chair at the Sing Sing prison in 1963 at the age of 34. He became the last person to be executed in New York prior to the death penalty being declared unconstitutional in the state in 1965.
