(McAlester, Oklahoma-AP) -- A man who was convicted in 1995 of killing his aunt was put to death Tuesday at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.

63-year-old Robert Leroy Bryan was pronounced dead at 7:24 PM after receiving a lethal mixture of drugs.

Bryan was convicted of fatally shooting Mildred Inabell Bryan of Sweetwater in September 1993.

Witnesses testified that shortly before the murder, Leroy Bryan wrote agreements and promissory notes and filled out checks to withdraw money from Inabell Bryan's checking account. She signed some of the checks, and he forged her signature at least once on a promissory note for $1,800.

Witnesses also said Leroy Bryan and Inabell Bryan didn't know each other well.

Inabell Bryan's daughter, Linda Daley, lives in Benton, Arkansas.
