After the Florida Supreme Court rejected arguments aimed at sparing the life of a man dubbed the “ninja killer” after a 1989 double slaying in Flagler County, his attorney appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Louis Gaskin is scheduled to die by lethal injection at 6 p.m. Wednesday at Florida State Prison unless the High Court halts his execution.
Gaskin, now 56, has filed numerous appeals over the years but by 2020 both the Florida Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the way for his death warrant to be signed, Attorney General Ashley Moody said in court documents. Property that he stole from the Sturmfels’ home — a clock, two lamps and a videocassette recorder — was found at his residence. He planned to give them to his girlfriend as Christmas gifts, investigators said. He had also taken cash and jewelry.
