Oklahoma Man Put to Death by Lethal Injection: Scott Eizember Executed After 15 Years on Death Row
for the 2003 murder of his neighbor, Leon Pye.
Scott Eizember was executed Thursday night at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, becoming the eighth person to be put to death by lethal injection in the state since 2021.
Eizember was convicted of the 2003 murder of his neighbor, Leon Pye. Pye was found dead in his home with multiple stab wounds. Eizember was arrested shortly after the murder and was found guilty in 2004.
The execution was carried out at 6:06 p.m. local time, and Eizember was pronounced dead at 6:17 p.m. In his final statement, Eizember apologized to Pye’s family and said he was sorry for the pain he had caused them.
Eizember’s execution was the first in Oklahoma since the state resumed executions in January 2021. The state had not carried out an execution since 2015 due to a shortage of lethal injection drugs.
Eizember’s execution was the first of three scheduled for this month in Oklahoma. The other two executions are scheduled for April 22 and April 29.

Oklahoma Animal Shelter Seeks Aid in Repairing Wind Damage
The Bella SPCA Rescue Center in Logan County, Oklahoma is in need of help to fix wind damage that has restricted the animals from using its outdoor space. Manager Alicia Caravello Nusz said the outdoor space is necessary for the puppies to get used to their new environment. High winds caused damage to the fence, exposing nails and screws, and pushed a tree into the yard. Six puppies were recently surrendered to the shelter, and the outdoor space is needed to help them become more comfortable around other dogs. Nusz said, “We would like to be able to take them out for playtime. Show them we’re not as scary as they think we are.” The shelter is now asking for help to fix the damage and make the outdoor space safe for the puppies. Once the permanent fix happens, the shelter will be one step closer to finding the puppies’ new homes.
