Kevin Ray Underwood was executed by lethal injection on December 19, 2024, at 10:14 AM, marking the 25th and final execution in the United States for the year. Underwood, who was 45 years old at the time of his execution, was convicted for the 2006 murder of 10-year-old Jamie Rose Bolin. The crime involved Underwood luring Bolin into his apartment, where he assaulted and killed her. His execution took place at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester. Underwood's case has drawn attention due to the nature of the crime, described as part of a cannibalistic fantasy. Prior to his execution, Underwood expressed remorse during a clemency hearing, stating he 'deserves' to die. His execution was confirmed by multiple sources, including CBS News and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.
