*************

I am trying to find the exact ethnicity of executed Latinos in the U.S., and I 
am having great difficulties locating the information for some
executed Latinos.

Death row inmates are normally categorized/label as white, black, or 
Latino/Hispanic, without specifying the ethnicity for Latinos/Hispanics (i.e., 
Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, etc.).

Would anyone happen to know the ethnicity of any of the following 9 executed 
Latinos?
