Death Warrant

Victor Tony Jones, 64, is scheduled to die Sept. 30. Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the death warrant the day after the state carried out the year's 11th execution, with the 12th slated for Sept. 17.

Windom received a lethal injection for the 1992 Winter Park murders of girlfriend Valerie Davis, the woman’s mother and the man he said owed him $2,000.

Curtis Windom is scheduled to die by lethal injection Thursday evening at Florida State Prison after his final appeals were rejected by the U.S. Supreme Court.

It was Florida’s 10th execution of 2025 and further extended the state's record for the number of executions carried out in a single year.

Veterans will present a letter to the governor on Wednesday in Tallahassee, urging him to reconsider the scheduled Aug. 19 execution of Kayle Bates, a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces. The letter is signed by more than 130 veterans.

Justices upheld a lower court’s ruling and ruled Bates was “procedurally barred from collaterally raising” a series of arguments that have been previously rejected.

Curtis Windom was convicted of killing Johnnie Lee, Valerie Davis and Mary Lubin on Feb. 7, 1992, in Orange County.

Florida's Attorney General's Office argues the state Supreme Court should reject efforts to halt Kayle Bates' execution, saying he "forfeited his right to live" when committing the crime.

Kayle Bates' attorneys told justices that state prosecutors denied the jury truthful information necessary to a realistic understanding of his potential sentences.

Edward Zakrzewski, 60, was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. Thursday following a three-drug injection. Florida has executed more people than any other state this year and has two more executions set for August.

Edward Zakrzewski is scheduled for lethal injection at 6 p.m. Thursday for using a crowbar, rope and machete to murder his wife and two children in 1994 in their Okaloosa County home.

Curtis Windom, 59, is set to die by lethal injection Aug. 28. Eight other executions have taken place in Florida this year, with a ninth scheduled for Thursday and a 10th for Aug. 19.
