TL;DR Summary

Louis Bernard Gaskin, known as the "ninja killer," is set to be executed by lethal injection in Florida for the 1989 murders of a couple in Flagler County. Gaskin shot Robert and Georgette Sturmfels with a .22-caliber rifle while wearing all-black ninja clothing. He was convicted of first-degree murder, armed robbery, burglary, and attempted murder. Gaskin has filed numerous appeals over the years, but both the Florida Supreme Court and U.S. Supreme Court have cleared the way for his death warrant to be signed. This will be Florida's 100th execution since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976.
