The execution of Charles Rhines occurred on November 4, 2019, at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Rhines was executed for the 1992 murder of Donnivan Schaefer, whom he killed during a burglary at a doughnut shop in Rapid City. His execution generated attention due to claims that the jury had sentenced him to death because he was gay and that his death sentence was tainted by anti-gay bias.[1] Rhines remains the most recent person executed in South Dakota.[2][3]
