US EditionExecution date set for Florida man who fatally stabbed married couple during 1990 robbery
Victor Tony Jones, convicted for a 1990 double murder during a robbery, faces execution under a death warrant signed by Governor DeSantis amid Florida's record-setting execution pace this year.
- Florida executed Curtis Windom by lethal injection on Thursday for the 1992 murders of three people in the Orlando area.
- After discovering that Johnnie Lee owed him $2,000, Windom purchased a handgun and fatally shot Lee, then proceeded to kill his companion Valerie Davis and her mother, Mary Lubin.
- Windom’s lawyers filed numerous appeals citing mental health evidence, but the U.S. Supreme Court rejected his final appeal on Wednesday.
- Florida has carried out 11 executions this year, marking its highest annual total since capital punishment resumed in 1976, and leads the nation with 30 executions in 2025.
- The execution highlights Florida’s continued high rate of capital punishment under Governor Ron DeSantis, with more executions scheduled in the coming months.
