https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nri/us-canada-news/first-indian-origin-death-row-prisoner-in-us-to-be-executed-on-february-23/articleshow/62459861.cms WASHINGTON: The execution date of the first death-row Indian-American prisoner+ convicted of killing a baby and her Indian grandmother has been set for next month. Raghunandan Yandamuri, 32, in 2014 was given death penalty for kidnapping and killing a 61-year-old elderly Indian woman and her 10-month-old grand-daughter. It was seen as part of a botched kidnapping-for-ransom plot. Yandamuri''s execution date has been set for February 23 by local correctional authorities. However, he is likely to get a reprieve because of a 2015 moratorium on death penalty by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf. Yandamuri is the first Indian-American to face death penalty.
