Christopher Andre Vialva (May 10, 1980 – September 24, 2020) was an American man who was executed by the United States federal government for the 1999 murders of two Iowa pastors in Fort Hood, Texas.

[3] On the day in question, Vialva and his gang, the 212 Piru Bloods, approached the Bagleys, pretending to ask for a ride at a gas station after they settled on a plan of robbing the two.

The Bagleys agreed to bring the five boys for a ride, and upon gaining entry into their car, Vialva held the couple at gunpoint and forced them into the trunk, where they stayed for hours.

[4] After the gang stopped on the roadside at the Belton Lake recreation area, Vialva directed his four henchmen to splash the interior of the car with lighter fluid, while the Bagleys continued to plead for mercy as they sang "Jesus Loves Me."

Two of them, Terry Terrell Brown and Christopher Michael Lewis, who were both 17 years old at the time of the offense, pleaded guilty to second degree murder and each received 248 months in prison, and they became prosecution witnesses against Bernard and Vialva.

Vialva had conversations when he first arrived on federal death row with domestic terrorist Timothy McVeigh, the perpetrator of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, who he communicated with through cell block windows.

[20] Vialva also described to his mother the final interactions he had with two other death row inmates scheduled for execution, Lezmond Mitchell and Keith Nelson.

Vialva said Mitchell did not say a word to anyone in the final week of his life, while Nelson talked a lot in his last two days, before violently vomiting when it came time for his execution.

Contextually, Vialva's execution order was issued at the time when the U.S. was shaken by the recent racial violence against African-Americans, especially the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police officers that same year.

[35][36] Vialva, who ordered Pizza Hut as his last meal and converted to Messianic Judaism,[2][37] expressed remorse and asked God to comfort the families of the couple he killed back in 1999.

[40] Two months after he died, Vialva's co-accused Brandon Bernard was also executed by lethal injection on December 10, 2020, despite appeals from former jurors, prosecutors, and media personality Kim Kardashian to grant him clemency.
