'Ninja Killer' Louis Gaskin Executed for 1989 Murders in Florida

Louis Gaskin, a man on death row in Florida for the 1989 killing of a couple, was executed on Wednesday evening. Gaskin was sentenced to death in 1990 for the fatal shooting of Robert Sturmfels, 56, and Georgette Sturmfels, 55. His execution comes six weeks after Donald Dillbeck, 59, was put to death for the 1990 murder of Faye Vann, 44, in Tallahassee, and three weeks before the scheduled execution of Darryl B. Barwick for slaying Rebecca Wendt, 24, in 1986 in Panama City.

'Ninja Killer' Executed in Florida for 1989 Murders

Louis Bernard Gaskin, known as the "ninja killer," was executed by lethal injection for killing a Palm Coast couple in 1989. He spent the last 33 years of his life on death row. Gaskin was convicted in 1990 of two counts of first-degree murder in the killings of Robert and Georgette Sturmfels on Dec. 20, 1989. Before his execution, Gaskin had final words, but they were difficult to understand. "Justice is not about the crime. It's not about the criminal. It's about the law," he said.

Florida prepares to execute 'Ninja Killer' for 1989 double murder.

Convicted murderer Louis Gaskin, also known as the "ninja killer," was scheduled to be executed via lethal injection in Florida after spending 33 years on death row for fatally shooting a couple in their home in 1989. On the day of execution, the inmate is given a last meal, takes a shower, and is issued clothing before being allowed to make a final statement. The state uses a three-drug protocol for lethal injection, and if something goes wrong, the process will be stopped. After the execution, the warden will sign the death certificate and the body will be removed by a funeral home for an autopsy.

'Ninja Killer' to be executed for 1989 murders in Florida.

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.
