Three States Execute Prisoners on Same Day, August 13, 2026

Oklahoma executed Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70, at 10:13 a.m.; Tennessee executed Darrell Hines, 66, about an hour later. Alabama's Jeremy Williams, 42, was also scheduled to die the same day. U.S. executions rose from 25 in 2024 to 47 in 2025. No federal authority coordinates state execution schedules — the convergence reflects independent decisions.
