Louisiana is set to execute death row inmate Jessie Hoffman on March 18 using nitrogen gas, the state's first time using the method. Here's a breakdown of his criminal history.

Convicted killer Jessie Hoffman Jr. was put to death by nitrogen gas Tuesday night (March 18) in Louisiana’s first state execution since 2010, according to his attorneys. A spokesperson for Hoffman’s attorneys said their client died from nitrogen hypoxia around 7 p.
