Three States Carry Out Executions on the Same Day

On August 13, 2026, Oklahoma put Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70, to death. Tennessee executed Darrell Hines, 66, about an hour later. Alabama had Jeremy Williams, 42, scheduled to die that day too. U.S. executions climbed from 25 in 2024 to 47 in 2025. No national office coordinates these — each state decided on its own.
