A South Carolina death row inmate convicted of killing a man and writing a message to investigators with the victim's blood more than 20 years ago elected on Friday to die by firing squad.

Stephen Bryant, 44, will be executed Nov. 14, making him the third man this year to die by South Carolina's newest execution method, according to a report from the Associated Press.

Bryant had until Friday to choose if he wanted to die by lethal injection, firing squad or the electric chair.

South Carolina resumed executions in 2024 after an involuntary 13-year pause due to trouble obtaining lethal injection drugs. Since then, four inmates selected lethal injection and two died by firing squad.
