The state of Florida executed Eddie Wayne Davis on Thursday, July 10. His execution was the sixth in the state this year and the 24th carried out nationwide.

Davis, 45, was convicted in 1995 for first-degree murder in the death of 11-year-old Kimberly Waters, whose mother briefly dated him. Davis abducted the young girl from her home while her mother was working a double shift at a nursing home. He raped and beat her, then threw her body into a commercial trash bin.

Davis died by lethal injection Thursday evening at the Florida State Prison in Raiford. After being injected with the first drug of a three-drug protocol, Davis reportedly began muttering to himself, though witnesses in the viewing area could not hear what he said because the intercom speakers were turned off.
