The execution took place mere days before the end of the Trump administration and the inauguration of anti-death penalty President-elect Joe Biden.
Unlike the Trump administration, Biden appears to have a clear mission against death penalty as he vowed to put an end to it, reported Reuters.
Dustin Higgs, 48, was convicted for ordering the killings of three women in a Maryland wildlife refuge in 1996. He had his execution through lethal injection at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana.
