Alabama is set to execute a man for the 1998 shooting death of a delivery driver during a robbery attempt near an ATM. Keith Edmund Gavin is scheduled to receive a lethal injection Thursday night at a prison in southwest Alabama. Gavin was convicted of capital murder in the March 6, 1998, shooting death of delivery driver William Clayton Jr. in the city of Centre.
