Shawn Berry, Lawrence Russell Brewer, and John King dragged Byrd for three miles behind a pick-up truck <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick-up_truck> along an asphalt <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt> road. Byrd, who remained conscious throughout most of the ordeal, was killed when his body hit the edge of a culvert <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culvert>, severing his right arm and head. The murderers drove on for another mile before dumping his torso in front of an African-American cemetery in Jasper.[1] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-dragging-1> Byrd's lynching <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching>-by-dragging <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragging_death> gave impetus to passage of a Texas hate crimes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_crime> law. It later led to the federal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_government_of_the_United_States>Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard_and_James_Byrd,_Jr._Hate_Crimes_Prevention_Act>, commonly known as the Matthew Shepard <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Shepard> Act, which passed on October 22, 2009, and which President Barack Obama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama> signed into law on October 28, 2009.[2] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-2>
Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed by lethal injection for this crime by the state of Texas on September 21, 2011.[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-cbsnews.com-3> King remains on Texas' death row while appeals are pending,[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-King.2C_John_William-4> [5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-tdcj.state.tx.us-5> [6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_James_Byrd,_Jr.#cite_note-keysDidPrison-6> while Berry was sentenced to life imprisonment.
