Nineteen men have died by court-ordered execution so far this year in the U.S., and nine other people are scheduled to be put to death in seven states during the remainder of 2025.
Oscar Smith was executed by lethal injection on Thursday. Matthew Lee Johnson in Texas and Benjamin Ritchie in Indiana died of the same method on Tuesday.
Other states with scheduled executions this year are Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina, though Ohio's governor has been routinely postponing the actions as their dates near.
So far this year, executions have been carried out in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

Johnson was executed 13 years to the day of a May 20, 2012, attack on 76-year-old Nancy Harris, a great-grandmother and convenience store clerk who was splashed with lighter fluid and set on fire during a robbery in Garland, a northeast suburb of Dallas. Badly burned, she died days afterward. At trial, Johnson admitted to the attack and expressed remorse.
