Dustin John Higgs (March 10, 1972 – January 16, 2021) was an American man who was executed by the United States federal government, having been convicted and sentenced to death in 2000 for his role in the January 1996 murders of three women in Maryland. Tamika Black, Tanji Jackson, and Mishann Chinn were all shot and killed near the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, on the Patuxent Research Refuge in Prince George's County, Maryland. Because this is classed as federal land, he was tried by the federal government rather than by the state of Maryland. His case, conviction, and execution were the subject of multiple controversies.

  • Dustin John Higgs (March 10, 1972 – January 16, 2021) was an American man who was executed by the United States federal government, having been convicted and sentenced to death in 2000 for his role in the January 1996 murders of three women in Maryland. Tamika Black, Tanji Jackson, and Mishann Chinn were all shot and killed near the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, on the Patuxent Research Refuge in Prince George's County, Maryland. Because this is classed as federal land, he was tried by the federal government rather than by the state of Maryland. His case, conviction, and execution were the subject of multiple controversies. The main contention was that Higgs did not personally kill any of the three victims, but waited in a vehicle nearby. The man who shot them, Willis Mark Haynes, was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole plus 45 years. The prosecution argued that although Higgs did not kill anyone, he was the ringleader, ordering and bullying Haynes. Higgs and his defense team maintained his innocence to the end, arguing that although he was involved, he was merely a witness, and was set up by Haynes and another witness, Victor Gloria. In 2012, Haynes swore in an affidavit that Higgs did not force or threaten him into killing any of the victims. Higgs was executed via lethal injection on January 16, 2021, becoming the thirteenth and final person executed by the federal government during the presidency of Donald Trump, when federal executions returned after a 17-year hiatus. Trump’s presidency ended only four days later. Higgs remains the most recent person executed by the United States federal government. A moratorium on federal executions is currently in place. It was imposed by President Joe Biden'sAttorney General Merrick Garland in 2021. (en)

  • 达斯汀·约翰·希格斯（英語：Dustin John Higgs，1972年3月10日－2021年1月16日）是美国一名被联邦政府执行死刑的男子，他因在1996年1月在马里兰州参与谋杀三名妇女而被判处死刑。在这起谋杀案中，19岁的塔米卡·布莱克（Tamika Black）、21岁的坦姬·杰克逊（Tanji Jackson）和23岁的秦恩（Mishann Chinn）在马里兰州乔治王子县的附近被枪杀。由于谋杀案的发生地帕图森特研究保护区属于，故而希格斯是被联邦政府而不是被马里兰州州政府起诉。有关这起案件以及对希格斯的定罪和处刑在美国都引发了多重争议。 围绕希格斯案件的主要争议在于达斯汀·希格斯并没有亲自杀死案件中三个受害者中的任何一个。亲自开枪并致三名受害者死亡的威利斯·马克·海恩斯（Willis Mark Haynes）被判处终身监禁并不得假释，另再判处45年有期徒刑；而在海恩斯开枪的时候，希格斯一直呆在车内却被判处死刑。控方声称，尽管希格斯没有亲手杀害任何被害者，但他是这个犯罪团伙的头目，是他命令海恩斯杀害被害者并威胁了海恩斯。而希格斯及他的辩护团队却一直辩称希格斯是无辜的，认为他虽然参与了这起谋杀案但却只是目击者，并说他是被海恩斯及另外一名证人维克托·格洛里亚（Victor Gloria）所陷害。2012年，海恩斯在一份中声称希格斯并没有强迫或威胁自己去杀害任何受害者。 尽管希格斯的律师和他的儿子（在希格斯入狱后出生）都呼吁对希格斯宽大处理，但他还是在2021年1月16日执行了注射死刑；这是时代第13名也是最后一名被执行死刑的囚犯。特朗普这一波的死刑执行令意味着中断了17年的美国联邦死刑暂停已经恢复了。 (zh)
