Florida Just Executed an 80-Year-Old Grandfather #TrueCrime #DominickOcchicone #FloridaExecution Discription: Must Read it. On July 28, 2026, Florida executed 80-year-old Dominick Anthony Occhicone Jr., making him the oldest person the state has put to death in the modern era. Occhicone was convicted of the June 10, 1986 murders of Raymond and Martha Artzner, his ex-girlfriend's parents, in Holiday, Florida — shooting them both after blaming them for his breakup. A jury sentenced him to life for Raymond's murder but recommended death for Martha's by a narrow 7-5 vote, a split that wouldn't meet Florida's own current legal threshold for a death sentence. After nearly 40 years on death row, his lawyers argued that executing an elderly, ailing man violated the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment — an appeal the courts ultimately rejected. His execution came just five hours after a separate execution the same day, marking the first double execution in Florida's modern history. This video breaks down the crime, the divided jury, the decades of appeals, and his final words before the lethal injection began.
