A mentally disturbed truck driver convicted of killing three men in a workplace shooting rampage more than two decades ago is set to be put to death on Sept. 22, the Alabama Supreme Court said Monday.
The clerk’s office announced the scheduled execution date of Alan Eugene Miller, 57, who was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death in the slayings, which occurred in Shelby County in 1999.
Miller could still mount a legal challenge to block his planned execution by lethal injection at Holman Prison in Atmore.
While the prison system has said it is developing nitrogen hypoxia as an alternative way to put people to death, the state isn’t yet setting execution dates for inmates who choose that untested method.
Court documents show on Aug. 5, 1999, an executive entering Ferguson Enterprises in Pelham heard noises and saw Miller, a delivery driver, leaving before finding Lee Holdbrooks and Scott Yancy fatally wounded inside.
Miller drove off and then showed up a few miles away at Post Airgas, where Terry Jarvis was killed and Miller previously had worked.
