murder

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.

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.

Kayle Bates was convicted of first-degree murder, kidnapping, armed robbery and attempted sexual battery in the1982 slaying of 24-year-old Janet Renee White of Lynn Haven.

Michael Bell was pronounced dead at 6:25 p.m. Tuesday at Florida State Prison. Another inmate, Edward Zakrzewski, is scheduled to be the ninth put to death this month.

Michael Bell would be the eighth person put to death in Florida this year, with Edward Zakrzewski scheduled to be the ninth later this month. The state executed six people in 2023 but only one last year.

Florida may carry out more executions in 2025 than in any other year in recent history. Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed nine death warrants so far. Seven have been carried out.

Attorneys for Thomas Gudinas, who is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Tuesday, want the state to turn over records related to the governor's "process for determining who lives and who dies."

Michael Bell, 54, is scheduled to die by lethal injection July 15 for the mistaken-revenge killing of two people outside of Jacksonville bar in 1993.
