Edward Zakrzewski, a former Eglin Air Force airman, was sentenced to death for killing his wife and two children in 1994.

A death warrant signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis directs that 60-year-old Edward Zakrzewski be executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. at the Florida State Prison near Starke. Zakrzewski was sentenced to death for using a crowbar, a rope and a machete to murder his wife and two children in 1994 in their Okaloosa County home.

With two more executions scheduled for August, Florida breaks modern-era record as ninth inmate is put to death. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's rapid pace of ordering executions has officially made history.
