U.S. to seek death penalty in inmate's murder

Federal prosecutors have announced their intention to pursue capital punishment for Jasper Reed, who is charged with strangling his cellmate at the Oklahoma City Federal Transfer Center.
The case involves a federal grand jury indictment accusing 27-year-old Reed of first-degree murder and causing serious injury through assault, stemming from two separate attacks on fellow inmates.
Reed allegedly attacked his first cellmate, T.R., on April 27, 2024, causing serious injuries, and was later housed with another inmate, R.P., who died by strangulation on May 8, 2024.
President Trump recently signed an order directing the Justice Department to 'take all necessary and lawful action' to seek the death penalty and ensure lethal injection supplies.
This move marks a shift after a 2021 federal execution moratorium under former AG Garland and a reduction in death-row inmates following President Biden’s conversions to life sentences.
