Brad Keith Sigmon (November 12, 1957 – March 7, 2025) was an American convicted murderer who was executed for the 2001 double murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents in South Carolina. Sigmon was convicted of bludgeoning David and Gladys Larke, aged 62 and 59, respectively, to death with a baseball bat on April 27, 2001, a week after he and his former girlfriend had broken up.
Subsequently, Sigmon was found guilty and given two death sentences for the double murder. He was also given a 30-year jail term for first-degree burglary. Sigmon was executed by firing squad on March 7, 2025, becoming the first person in almost 15 years to be executed by this method after Ronnie Lee Gardner, as well as the oldest person executed in the state.
