Edward Zakrzewski, convicted of killing his wife and two children in 1994, was executed by lethal injection in Florida on July 31, 2025. The triple homicide case, which shocked the nation, came to a close after over 30 years of legal proceedings. His execution marked Florida’s ninth this year—a record since the state reinstated the death penalty—making it the most active in the nation. The case continues to fuel debate over capital punishment, its lengthy appeals process, and its emotional toll on families.
