Anthony Boyd, 54, was executed by nitrogen gas on Thursday at 6:33 p.m. at William C. Holman Correctional Facility for his role in the 1993 killing of Gregory Huguley by immolation over a $200 cocaine debt. Across the U.S., this method has been used in eight executions — seven in Alabama and one in Louisiana.
