Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond

OKLAHOMA CITY (Nov. 13, 2025) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond said he is disappointed in Gov. Stitt’s decision today to grant clemency to convicted murderer Tremane Wood.

Wood was sentenced to death for stabbing and killing 19-year-old Ronnie Wipf on New Year’s Day in 2002 during a robbery in Oklahoma City.

During his time in prison, Wood also possessed multiple contraband cell phones that he used to distribute drugs and engage in gang violence. The State provided the Pardon and Parole Board earlier this month a video of a beating paid for by Wood, a video Wood insisted be sent to him.

The Attorney General appeared before the board last week to oppose clemency for Wood. Wood’s execution was scheduled for Nov. 13.

“I am disappointed that the governor has granted clemency for this dangerous murderer, but respect that this was his decision to make,” Drummond said. “My office will continue working to ensure that Tremane Wood remains behind bars and that the public is protected from him.”
