McGill Executed for 2002 Murder

Leroy Dean McGill, a 63-year-old convicted murderer, was executed by lethal injection in Arizona, marking the first execution in the state since 2022. McGill was convicted for the 2002 murder of Charles Perez, whom he doused in gasoline and set on fire. Perezs girlfriend survived severe burns. McGills execution was the first of three planned across the US this week. Despite past issues with IV insertion during executions, the process went smoothly this time. McGills last words were reportedly thankful and he smiled at witnesses before the injection began. Arizona has 108 prisoners currently on death row.
