       Bruce Earl Ward's execution is scheduled to occur at 9 pm CST,
       on Wednesday, October 21, 2015, at the Cummins Unit near Varner,
       Arkansas.  Fifty-eight-year-old Bruce is convicted of the murder
       of 18-year-old Rebecca Lynn Doss in Little Rock, Arkansas, on
       August 11, 1989.  Bruce has spent the last 25 years of his life
       on Arkansas’ death row.
       Prior to his arrest, Bruce worked as a perfume salesman from his
       motorcycle.  Bruce had previously pled guilty in Pennsylvania on
       a manslaughter charge for strangling a women who had left the
       bar with him.
       During the evening of August 11, 1989, Bruce Ward drove around
       Little Rock, Arkansas allegedly looking for a victim.  Teenager
       Rebecca Doss was working the night shift alone at Jackpot, a
       convenience store.
       Little Rock Police Sergeant Michael Middleton, during his
       patrol, noticed that there was no one behind the counter at the
       store and went to investigate.  When he was unable to locate the
       clerk, he called for assistance.  While waiting, Sergeant
       Middleton discovered Ward exiting the men’s bathroom.  Sergeant
       Middleton asked Ward about the missing clerk.  Ward responded
       that the clerk was in the store and that he had just had a cup
       of hot chocolate and that the clerk had given him the key to the
       restroom.  Rebecca’s body was subsequently discovered on the
       floor of the restroom, strangled to death.
       Ward was arrested, tried, and convicted of Rebecca’s murder.  He
       was sentenced to death.
       Don William Davis is also scheduled to be executed in Arkansas
       on October 21, 2015.
