Nevada Execution Scheduled for November

The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is preparing for the November execution of Scott Raymond Dozier. 

Dozier was sentenced to death after a first-degree murder conviction. He was found guilty of the 2002 killing and dismemberment of 22 year old Jeremiah Miller. Miller's torso had been found in a suitcase dumped on West Flamingo Road in Las Vegas.

Police found a second victim of Dozier's dismembered and buried in the Arizona desert during the course of their investigation.Dozier was found guilty of second-degree murder in that case. 

State law requires that a judgment of death be carried out by lethal injection. The NDOC director, after consulting with the Chief Medical Officer, has decided that Diazepam, Fentanyl, and Cisatracurium will be used.  

The execution is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. November 14, 2017 at the Ely State Prison in Ely, Nevada.Â
