The state of South Carolina carried out the executions of Brad Sigmon and Mikal Mahdi by firing squad, marking the first two executions by firing squad since 2010, when Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed in Utah by firing squad (all three inmates chose the method).^[3][4]

The state of Louisiana conducted its first execution in 15 years since 2010; the person executed, Jessie Hoffman Jr., was additionally the first to be executed by nitrogen gas in Louisiana, which became the second state after Alabama to conduct nitrogen gas executions.^[5] The state of Mississippi carried out the execution of the longest-serving death row inmate Richard Gerald Jordan after nearly fifty years on death row.^[6] Edward Zakrzewski II was the ninth person put to death in Florida, marking a post-Furman record year of executions for the state since 2014.^[7]

One person, Christopher Sepulvado, died of natural causes at age 81 before his execution could be carried out in Louisiana in March 2025.^[8] Another person, Robin Dion Myers, received a commutation of his death sentence to life without parole from Alabama governor Kay Ivey, after the Alabama Supreme Court authorized the setting of an execution date.^[9]
