Texas set to execute man in triple murder case as Georgia execution halted
Texas will carry out its fifth execution of 2026 on Wednesday, while a Georgia execution has been blocked by a judge.
A man convicted in the shooting deaths of three people is scheduled to be executed Wednesday in Texas, according to the state's death penalty schedule. The execution would mark Texas's fifth of 2026.
Georgia's scheduled execution for the same timeframe has been halted by a judge, leaving the state with no executions so far this year. Florida remains the nation's most active in carrying out death sentences, accounting for more than half of the 25 executions already performed across the U.S. in 2026.
