Florida authorities execute 80-year-old Dominick Anthony Occhicone, making him the oldest person put to death in the state’s history, according to multiple outlets. The reports say Occhicone is executed by lethal injection and that the case dates back nearly four decades. Sources describe Occhicone’s crimes as a double murder at his ex-girlfriend’s home, involving her parents. The Mirror and Daily Record state that he was sentenced about 40 years ago and that he is carried out today, decades after his conviction. One report also notes that another inmate is executed the same day as Occhicone, though the two accounts emphasize the long interval between the killings and the execution. The coverage does not present new details beyond the central timeline: the killings at an ex-girlfriend’s residence, the sentencing roughly 40 years earlier, and Occhicone’s execution on the current date, along with the claim that his execution sets an age-related record for Florida.
