Stephen Bryant is currently sitting on death row in South Carolina for the shooting deaths of three men over twenty years ago in 2004.
According to the laws of the state, Bryant had a choice in his method of execution and he had to choose by October 31st.
Bryant has chosen to be put to death by firing squad. Very old school.

Death row inmate Stephen Bryant chooses firing squad execution after admitting to gruesome murder
A South Carolina death row inmate convicted of killing a man and writing a message to investigators with the victim’s blood more than 20 years ago elected on Friday to die by firing squad.
Stephen Bryant, 44, will be executed Nov. 14, making him the third man this year to die by South Carolina’s newest execution method, according to a report from the Associated Press.
Bryant had until Friday to choose if he wanted to die by lethal injection, firing squad or the electric chair.
South Carolina resumed executions in 2024 after an involuntary 13-year pause due to trouble obtaining lethal injection drugs. Since then, four inmates selected lethal injection and two died by firing squad.
Bryant admitted to fatally shooting Willard “TJ” Tietjen in his home, burning his eyes with cigarettes and painting “catch me if u can” on the wall with Tietjen’s blood.
Candles were lit around Tietjen’s body and the corner of a potholder was dipped in Tietjen’s blood and used to write “victem 4 in 2 weeks. catch me if u can” on a wall, according to officials…
Prosecutors alleged Bryant also shot and killed two other men in October 2004, one prior to Tietjen’s death and one after.
The firing squad is surprisingly popular in South Carolina.
If Stephen Bryant is put to death Nov. 14, South Carolina would have conducted 3 firing squad executions in 10 months. Utah did 3 over a span of 33 years. #deathpenalty https://t.co/ZixJkX67Tj pic.twitter.com/Z3epGw4VMV

This man sealed his fate when he took the lives of others. It’s just amazing that it has taken so long to carry out his death sentence. It’s a shame that the people of South Carolina have had to provide for him all this time.
