South Carolina executed double murderer Brad Sigmon through the launch squad on Friday, becoming the first death row inmate to die by firing a squad in the United States for the first time in 15 years.
Associated Press It has been reported The 67-year-old Sigmon was shot “by three volunteer prison employees” at 6:05pm. He was declared dead at 6:08pm
On February 22, 2025, Breitbart News said that Sigmon chose to die by firing the squad and observed that his execution date was set on March 7, 2025.
Fox News It has been reported The 67-year-old Sigmon was “convicted of the 2001 baseball bat murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents at his Greenville County home.” These murders occurred after Sigmon stopped trying to lure his ex-girlfriend, eventually killing her to prevent her from having any connections with others.
Sigmon said, “I couldn't have her, I wasn't going to have anyone else have her.”
Sigmon chose to die to fire USA Today. Quote His lawyer, King Gerald “Bo” criticized South Carolina's death penalty, saying, “There is no justice here.”
