Man to be executed over fatal stabbing of married couple in 1990 robbery

A man convicted of fatally stabbing a married couple during a 1990 robbery in South Florida is scheduled to be executed on Tuesday evening.

Victor Tony Jones, 64, is set to receive a lethal injection starting at 6pm at Florida State Prison near Starke under a death warrant signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis. It would be Florida's 13th death sentence carried out in 2025, further extending the state's record for total executions in a single year.
