Keith Gavin was executed in Alabama on 18 July 2024. He was convicted in 1999 of a murder committed in 1998 and sentenced to death on a jury vote of 10-2 for the death penalty. In 2020, a federal judge found that his legal representation at the sentencing phase had been constitutionally inadequate, but in 2022 the Court of Appeals reversed this decision. The Governor of Alabama declined to intervene, and after final appeals to the courts were rejected, the execution went ahead, the third this year in Alabama.
