Gov. Kay Ivey Wednesday set a June execution date for Gregory Hunt, 65, for his role in the murder of Karen Lane in 1988.
The execution, scheduled for June 10, would be the third in Alabama this year and the second to use nitrogen gas.
According to court documents, Lane was in an apartment she was visiting on Aug. 2, 1988 when Hunt broke in and sexually assaulted and murdered Lane.
Hunt was convicted on three counts of murder.
The state executed Demetrius Frazier in February and James Osgood in April.
