The last person executed in California under the death penalty was Clarence Ray Allen, who was executed on January 17, 2017. However, Governor Gavin Newsom announced a moratorium on the death penalty in March 2019, halting all executions during his tenure. Consequently, while the death penalty remains legal in California, no executions have taken place since Allen's execution.
