Gary Ray Bowles, a serial killer who preyed on older gay men during an eight-month spree that left six dead, was executed by lethal injection Thursday at Florida State Prison. The sentence was carried out at 10:58pm, according to the office of Governor Ron DeSantis. Bowles, 57, was initially due to be executed at 6pm, but was delayed for nearly five hours as justices of the Supreme Court deliberated his final appeal. They rejected the last-minute plea around 10pm, after Bowles had eaten his final meal consisting of three cheeseburgers, fries and bacon. Bowles received the death penalty for the November 1994 murder of Walter Hinton in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. #losers #execution
