when will wade wilson be executed
Wade Steven Wilson has been sentenced to death in Florida, but there is no publicly announced execution date for him at this time.
What has happened so far
- In August 2024, a judge in Lee County, Florida, formally sentenced Wade Wilson to death for the 2019 murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area.
- Earlier coverage from July 2024 showed that the sentencing hearing itself had already been delayed once, to August 27, before the judge ultimately imposed the death penalty.
Current status on death row
- Reports describe Wilson as now being on Florida’s death row following his 2024 death sentence, sometimes referred to in the media as the “Deadpool Killer” because he shares a name with the Marvel character.
- Wilson is noted as appealing his death sentence to the Florida Supreme Court, which means his legal process is still ongoing and an execution cannot proceed until those appeals are resolved.
Why there is no execution date yet
- Florida death sentences typically go through a lengthy appeals process, including automatic direct appeal and possible post‑conviction motions, before any execution warrant is signed.
- There is currently no reliable public information indicating that Florida’s governor has signed a death warrant for Wade Wilson, so no specific execution date is set or publicly available.
