New Actor: Alabama Executes Jeremy Williams for Child Murder
Alabama executed Jeremy Williams by lethal injection at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore on Thursday evening for the 2021 capital murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland.
Williams, 42, had pleaded guilty in Russell County to murdering and sexually assaulting Holland, a child from Columbus, Georgia. He waived his appeals and asked the state to carry out the sentence quickly.
The execution proceeded after Gov. Kay Ivey declined to intervene. It was scheduled to begin around 6 p.m. Central and was completed that night.
This was Alabama’s first execution of 2026 and one of three U.S. executions carried out the same day, alongside cases in Tennessee and Oklahoma.
