Summary:
DeLozier, age 19, was camping with friends along the Glover River and came upon the campsite of Orville Lewis Bullard, 60, and Paul Steven Morgan, 54. They left and returned that night, ambushed the pair, shot them with a shotgun and a .22 rifle, and stole their pickup, a generator and other camping equipment. DeLozier set fire to the camp, sparking a blaze that burned both bodies beyond recognition. Accomplice Nathaniel Madison pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, received a 10-year sentence and testified against DeLozier. He was released from prison in 2000. Accomplice Glenney Madison was convicted of first-degree murder and is serving a life prison sentence.

Final Words:
Before the execution, DeLozier’s attorney released a statement in which DeLozier admitted killing the two men and apologized to the victims’ families. "I cannot wait to finish paying this debt I owe so I can apologize to the souls of Mr. Morgan and Mr. Bullard, and ask them to forgive me for my taking their lives,” DeLozier wrote. "To the families of my victims all I can say is I’m sorry for the pain I’ve caused you. I hope my death will bring you some peace.”
The Execution
DeLozier, wearing glasses and a full beard, nodded and smiled before he closed his eyes and laid his head back on the gurney. His breath hitched once as the lethal cocktail began to flow. Moments later, the color drained from his face. He Was pronounced dead a few minutes later.
