Mississippi's longest-serving death row inmate is set to be executed Wednesday nearly five decades after he kidnapped and killed a bank loan officer's wife in a violent ransom scheme.

Twenty-four men have died by court-ordered execution so far this year in the U.S., and five other people are scheduled to be put to death in four states during the remainder of 2025.
