Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. We begin in Louisiana as one man is under arrest and at least two more could face charges in the hazing-related death of a Southern University student. Baton Rouge police say 20-year-old Caleb Wilson died in February while pledging Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Authorities say Wilson and eight other pledges were repeatedly punched in the chest by

fraternity members wearing boxing gloves. 23-year-old Caleb McRae has now been arrested, charged with manslaughter and felony hazing. According to police, McRae hit Wilson four times before Wilson collapsed, suffering an apparent seizure. A coroner's report is still pending, but no major external injuries were found. McRae's attorney, Philip Robinson, says his client did not intend to harm and is asking the public to reserve judgment. Authorities say more arrests are expected as the investigation continues.

Now to an historic and somber event in South Carolina, a state execution carried out by firing squad, the first of its kind in the United States in 15 years. Here's Crime Online's Sydney Sumner. On March 7th at 6.08 p.m., Brad Sigmund, age 67, was pronounced dead at the Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina. Convicted in 2002 for the brutal 2001 murders of William David Lark and Gladys Lark, Sigmund chose execution by firing squad over the electric chair or lethal injection, fearing the latter methods might result in prolonged suffering. The execution was conducted by three volunteer prison employees, each armed with rifles, who fired simultaneously from a distance of 15 feet. Sigmund was seated in the death chamber,

wearing a black jumpsuit with a hood over his head and a white target placed over his heart. Witnesses, including family members of the Larks, Sigmund's attorney, and media representatives observed the procedure from behind bullet-resistant glass. This event marks the first use of the firing squad in the United States since 2010 and has reignited discussions about execution methods and the ethics surrounding capital punishment. South Carolina had previously halted executions for over a decade due to challenges in obtaining lethal injection drugs, leading to the adoption of alternative methods like the firing squad. The execution of Brad Sigman by firing squad not only underscores

the complexities of capital punishment, but also highlights the ongoing debates about humane methods of execution. As states grapple with these issues, the conversation about the future of the death penalty in America continues. Thanks, John.
