June 10, 2025
A man convicted of raping and killing a woman three decades ago after kidnapping her from a supermarket parking lot has been executed in Florida. Fifty-four-year-old Anthony Wainwright received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke on Tuesday. He was convicted in the April 1994 killing in Lake City of 23-year-old Carmen Gayheart. Wainwright is the sixth person put to death in Florida this year. Another execution is scheduled for later this month. The state executed six people in 2023, but only carried out one execution last year.
