The execution date has been set for an Oklahoma man convicted of murder for stabbing to death a migrant farmworker from Montana during a robbery in Oklahoma City in 2001.
Tremane Wood will be executed by lethal injection on November 13 at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, the Oklahoma Department of Corrections confirmed Thursday.

Wood’s execution was originally scheduled for September 11, but in August, Attorney General Gentner Drummond’s office requested that the sitting judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals postpone it.
Wood’s lawyers requested a stay of execution earlier this year while his post-conviction remedy case was pending in court. Wood was sentenced to death for the stabbing, despite the fact that his older brother took responsibility for the stabbing during the trial. Wood’s brother was sentenced to life in jail with no hope of parole.
Wood’s execution will be the 17th under Governor Kevin Stitt and the third in Oklahoma this year.
