SUMMARY: Louisiana conducted its first nitrogen hypoxia execution tonight, marking the state’s first execution in over a decade. Jesse Hoffman, convicted of rape and murder, was executed just before 7:00 PM. Witnesses, including WDSU’s Gina Swanson, observed the procedure through a window. Hoffman was strapped to a gurney, and nitrogen gas was introduced through a mask. His body exhibited shaking and convulsions before breathing slowed and stopped. After 20 minutes, the warden declared Hoffman dead at 6:50 PM. The execution was a historic moment, with Louisiana resuming executions after a 15-year hiatus.
