This list includes all executions since 1976. For an historical database of executions, visit our Espy Database page, which is available for browsing in PDF format.
The search by Name function works with partial names, last or first names, or whole names.
By highlighting a number of selections, you can search for a range of dates, races, or factors for all executions.
Federal Executions have their own category and will not show in the results for state executions.
When searching by Race, some entries will include
multiple victims and multiple races. If you are looking for the
instances of a white defendant executed for the death of only black
victims, please select that option under "Special Factors."
Geographical regions are listed as determined by the Bureau of
Justice Statistics. Federal Executions are included in the region in
which the crime occurred.
All results will display in chronological order within chosen parameters.
