The death sentence was carried out on an African American in Indiana who killed a religious couple visiting Texas from Iowa in 1999 when he was only 19 years old.
Christopher Vialva, 40, was pronounced dead at 6:42 am (local time) after a lethal injection. This is the seventh federal execution since it was reinstated by President Donald Trump last July and the first of an African American.
