News summary

Wade Wilson, a 30-year-old convicted killer, was sentenced to death for the 2019 murders of Kristine Melton and Diane Ruiz in Cape Coral, Florida. Recently, his new mugshot was released following his transfer to the Union Correctional Institution, showing a dramatic change in appearance with a shaved head and numerous tattoos, including white supremacist symbols. Wilson was found guilty of first-degree murder after a trial that concluded in June 2024, with the jury recommending the death penalty, which was imposed by Judge Nicholas Thompson. Prior to sentencing, Wilson's defense attempted to argue for a life sentence based on alleged brain injury, a claim disputed by medical experts. In addition to the murder charges, he faces multiple other charges, including drug trafficking. Currently, no execution date has been set, and Wilson's defense plans to appeal the death sentence.
