Alfred Bourgeois (June 20, 1964 – December 11, 2020) was a former truck driver who was executed by the U.S. federal government in 2020. Bourgeois was convicted of the murder of his toddler daughter Jakaren Harrison (nicknamed JaJa), whom he sexually assaulted for weeks and finally killed inside his truck in June 2002. Bourgeois was found guilty and sentenced to death by a federal jury in March 2004, since his crime took place on a military base in Texas where he was making a delivery. Bourgeois, who protested his innocence, was incarcerated for a total of 18 years before he was put to death via lethal injection on December 11, 2020.
