HUNTSVILLE, Texas—A Texas death row inmate was set to die by lethal injection on the evening of Dec. 11, for the fatal shooting more than 25 years ago of a newlywed who was attacked as he and his wife walked on a jogging trail.
Alvin Braziel Jr. would be the 24th inmate put to death this year in the United States and the 13th executed in Texas, which is the nation’s busiest capital punishment state. He would be the last Texas inmate executed this year.
