A man convicted of killing a married couple during a robbery in South Florida in 1990 was put to death Tuesday, marking the 13th execution in Florida this year, a state record.
Victor Tony Jones, 64, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m. following a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke, the office of Gov.
Jones' death extended Florida's record for total executions in a single year, with the state planning to carry out two more executions next month.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court restored the death penalty in 1976, the highest previous annual total of Florida executions was eight in 2014.
Hours before the execution, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a final appeal without comment.
