A suspected serial killer’s life came to a violent end when a cellmate attacked and killed 50-year-old Billy Chemirmir, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice announced.
“The victim’s cellmate, who is serving a sentence for murder out of Dallas County, was identified as the assailant,” Director of Communications Amanda Hernandez said. “The Office of Inspector General is investigating.”

Chemirmir faced a total of 22 murder cases in the court system; there are also two alleged attempted murders. Authorities said he preyed on elderly women, making his way into their homes by pretending to be a maintenance or health care worker.
Prosecutors in Texas had separately convicted him of two murders at the time of his death.
Chemirmir was first convicted back in April 2022 for murdering Lu Thi Harris, 81. He had her jewelry, keys, and even $2 bills she would give out as gifts, prosecutors said at trial. He and Harris were both at the same Walmart hours before the killing on March 20, 2018. Prosecutors suggested he was there to track her, and he blended in with the rest of the customers.
Authorities managed to introduce evidence he separately killed Mary Brooks, 87. He also attacked Mary Bartel, who survived thanks to her pacemaker; Bartel passed away in 2020. Jurors in October 2022 convicted Chemirmir of murdering Brooks.
“We have accomplished what we set out to do,” the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office said at the time. “There is no question that Billy Chemirmir will spend the rest of his life behind bars.”***

Its kinda sad when we must rely on criminals to give society justice.
would the cell mate get time off for good behavour?
I just posted. You beat me to it by 15 seconds.
RE: Its kinda sad when we must rely on criminals to give society justice.
Absolutely true.
Seems like that's exactly what happened.
All look like sweet little old helpless ladies (except the top far left maybe). Probably good Christian’s and Patriots. The $2 bill is something my mother in law used to give to grandkids. You can get them at Monticello.
Looks like he went after older ladies. I suspect because they were easy targets.
Welp, frees up a cell and gives another murderer type guy a new cellmate to think about.
If I remember correctly, this POS was saved from the death sentence because of the POS Soros-backed scumbag of a DA... WRONG!
One less waste of $5 worth of chemicals in the world. No tears shed.
I am wondering if he ran his mouth in prison bragging about his crimes. Even the worst felons despise scum like him.
Whatever it takes. What is with the “suspected” crap? He was a killer. Convicted fair and square. He cost taxpayers more than he could have ever been worth to anyone. Feed what is left of it to the hogs.
The prosecution should be very generous when considering “extenuating circumstances” for the cellmate. A penalty of “time served” plus a carton of cigarettes or the equivalent would be most appropriate.
Plus a stern admonition that he shouldn’t do such a thing again, lest he get similar penalties.
Most are pretty dumb.
Clay Jenkins is crying in his pillow...
He was awaiting trial on a couple dozen additional murder charges. Oh well ... Those families might have liked some "closure" ... OTOH, saved the State of Texas a pile of money.
Give him an extra helping of meatloaf.
Driver's license photo, maybe?
Even criminals have mothers and grandmothers. I suspect the guy said something about one of the victims and his cell-mate had heard enough and decided to quieten the killer.
Permanently.
