A 77-year-old Florida man was executed on Tuesday for his conviction in the 1995 killing of Carolyn Monfort, becoming the 16th person put to death in the state this year, according to The Guardian.
Curtis Wilkie Beasley was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. following a lethal injection, the report said. He had been convicted for a deadly hammer attack on Monfort decades earlier.
The execution proceeded after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case, according to the report. Florida's death chamber has carried out more executions than any other state so far this year.
The Guardian's report did not include further detail on any final statements or appeals filed in the lead-up to the execution.
