An execution date has been set for a man convicted in the 1998 killing of a delivery driver at an ATM in northeast Alabama.

Gov. Kay Ivey announced on Thursday that Keith Edmund Gavin, 64, will be put to death by lethal injection within a 30-hour time frame beginning at 12 a.m. on July 18 and ending at 6 a.m. on July 19.

Her announcement comes a week after the state Supreme Court authorized the execution.

Gavin was convicted of capital murder in the shooting death of William Clayton Jr., which took place on March 6, 1998, in the town of Centre.

Clayton, who was a delivery driver, was getting money at an ATM to take to his wife for dinner when Gavin shot him during an attempted robbery, pushed him into his van and drove off in the stolen vehicle, according to local outlet AL.com.

An investigator with the district attorney’s office happened to be nearby when the shooting took place and began pursuing the van, AL.com reported. At one point, Gavin stopped the van, got out to shoot at the investigator, then continued fleeing.

He was taken into custody shortly after and Clayton was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Gavin was identified as the suspect in Clayton’s death by two eyewitnesses – the investigator he shot at and his cousin, whom he was with seconds before he shot Clayton.

In 1999, a jury voted 10-2 for Gavin to be sentenced to death. His conviction marked the second time he was sentenced to prison for murder as he served 17 years of a 34-year sentence in Illinois before being released on parole shortly before Clayton’s death, AL.com reported.

Alabama also scheduled an execution date for Jamie Mills, who was convicted in the 2004 killing of a couple during a robbery. Mills will be put to death by lethal injection on May 30, according to the Associated Press.

WARNING: GRAPHIC

The family of a 14-year-old Kentucky girl says one of her female classmates brutally assaulted her with a “metal tumbler” on a school bus earlier this month.

Emma Filback, a freshman with autism at Franklin Simpson High School, was riding the school bus on April 18 when “she was attacked by another female high school student who hit her in the head repeatedly with a metal tumbler” with “no provocation,” the description on a GoFundMe page for the family states.

“These two have never spoken to each other before the incident occurred,” the GoFundMe page says.

Emma’s family shared several graphic photos of the 14-year-old’s bloody head injury, which required her to get stitches across the top of her scalp.

Chryslee Filback, Emma’s mother, filed an Emergency Protection Order on Monday that was “denied by the judge, for unknown reasons,” the family said. 

Simpson County Superintendent Tom Schlosser told Fox News Digital that the school district referred the case to Franklin Simpson High School’s designated school resource officer (SRO), who works for the sheriff’s office. The SRO is working with the Simpson County Attorney’s Office.

“We do not condone that behavior, and we take this situations very seriously. We’re handling it. We’re dealing with it. Both parties get due process,” Schlosser said. “We’ve reached out to the family. We’ve supported the family.”

Emma’s family is also alleging that cameras on the school bus did not capture the attack.

In a Monday statement, the Simpson County School District confirmed that “a student incident” involving “two students” on a school bus occurred on April 18 around 3:35 p.m.

“The bus monitor immediately intervened to stop the incident,” the school district said. “The parents of both students involved were contacted by our Transportation Office, and by school administrators. Local law enforcement was also contacted.”

Franklin Simpson High School administrators met with both students on April 18.

“This matter is being dealt with in accordance with our District and School Policies. The School District will continue to process the investigation and will deal with all administrative issues as they pertain to student discipline,” the district said. “Local law enforcement and the County Attorney’s Office are responsible for addressing any criminal action that is deemed necessary as a result of the incident. Since both parties are juveniles, the ability of the school district to further comment is limited by state law.”

The alleged attacker — an older student at Franklin Simpson, according to Emma’s family — apparently posted a photo of the tumbler on social media with the caption, “I beat her with this.” Emma’s family shared a screenshot of that social media post to their GoFundMe page.

The family has established a GoFundMe page in an effort to raise funds for an attorney “to not only protect their autistic daughter but also to receive justice against any person or organization that may have mishandled this traumatic incident.”

“Emma is also going to need hours of trauma therapy and counseling,” her family said.

The American Press reports that Rousse also has worked in administration at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. He was an undergraduate at McNeese before obtaining a bachelor’s degree in business from Nicholls State University, a master’s in business administration from the University of New Orleans and a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Rouse’s starting date is to be negotiated with system President Rick Gallot and Board Chair Jimmy Clarke.
