- Leroy Dean McGill is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection on Wednesday at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence.
- McGill was convicted of the 2002 murder of Charles Perez and attempted murder of Nova Banta, whom he doused with gasoline and set on fire.
- The attack followed accusations that McGill had stolen a gun, with McGill reportedly under the influence of methamphetamine at the time.
- Banta survived the assault with severe burns, while Perez died from his injuries, leading to McGill's conviction and death sentence in 2004.
- McGill's execution is the first of three planned across the United States this week, following Arizona's recent history of executions and a past botched procedure in 2014.
