BRADFORD COUNTY, Fla. — The state of Florida is set to execute a man on Tuesday who was convicted of raping and killing a woman 31 years ago.
Last month, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a death warrant for Anthony Wainwright.
Investigators said Wainwright kidnapped 23-year-old Carmen Gayheart in a Winn-Dixie parking lot in Lake City in 1994.
He then murdered her in rural Hamilton County.
Gayheart was a college student at the time of her death.
Wainwright will be the sixth person put to death in Florida this year.
