跟进：佛州处决死囚里夫斯：晚6时12分宣布死亡 成佛州今年第18例处决
佛罗里达州于10月20日晚执行了死囚 William Reaves Jr. 的处决。佛州惩教署发言人 Jordan Kirkland 在监狱举行的媒体吹风会上表示，现年77岁的 Reaves 当晚在 Raiford 附近的佛州州立监狱接受注射处决，于美东时间晚6时12分被宣布死亡，共有29名见证人在场，行刑室内另有3人陪同；被问及是否有遗言时，Reaves 回答说：「没有。」（据 TCPalm 与《今日美国》报道）
Kirkland 介绍，Reaves 当天清晨5时醒来，状态配合，会见了姐姐、侄子、兄弟与一位朋友共4名访客，并与一名灵性顾问见面；他的最后一餐只有饼干和果汁。Indian River 县警长 Eric Flowers 到场见证了处决。一辆为纪念遇害副警长 Richard Raczkoski 而翻新的巡逻车当天下午也被拖至监狱外停放。
Reaves 于1986年9月23日在 Vero Beach 枪杀前来处理一通911电话的 Indian River 县副警长 Richard Raczkoski（时年29岁），被判一级谋杀罪名成立并判处死刑。此前，巡回法院于10月2日、佛州最高法院于10月14日、联邦地区法官于10月19日先后拒绝暂缓执行，联邦最高法院也于10月20日下午驳回其暂缓请求，处决按计划执行。
这是佛罗里达州2026年执行的第18例处决，也是全美今年第32例。100多名退伍军人此前联名致信州长 Ron DeSantis，称 Reaves 在越南战争中留下创伤、请求宽大处理，未获采纳；州政府在本月法庭文件中主张，这项拖延已久的判决早应执行。

Follow-Up: Florida Executes William Reaves: Pronounced Dead at 6:12 p.m., the State's 18th Execution This Year
Florida carried out the execution of death row inmate William Reaves Jr. on the evening of October 20. Florida Department of Corrections spokesman Jordan Kirkland said at a media briefing at the prison that Reaves, 77, was put to death by lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Raiford and was pronounced dead at 6:12 p.m. ET, with 29 witnesses present and three people accompanying him inside the execution chamber. Asked whether he had any final words, Reaves said, "No, I do not." (According to TCPalm and USA Today)
Kirkland said Reaves awoke at 5 a.m., remained compliant, received four visitors — his sister, nephew, brother and a friend — and met with a spiritual advisor; his last meal consisted of crackers and juice. Indian River County Sheriff Eric Flowers witnessed the execution. A refurbished patrol car dedicated to slain Deputy Richard Raczkoski was towed to the prison that afternoon.
Reaves was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the September 23, 1986, shooting of Indian River County Deputy Richard Raczkoski, 29, who had responded to a 911 call in Vero Beach. A circuit court on October 2, the Florida Supreme Court on October 14 and a federal district judge on October 19 each refused to stay the execution, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied his request on the afternoon of October 20, allowing the execution to proceed as scheduled.
It was Florida's 18th execution of 2026 and the 32nd in the United States this year. More than 100 military veterans had written to Governor Ron DeSantis asking for clemency, citing the trauma Reaves carried from the Vietnam War; the plea was not granted. The state argued in court filings this month that the long-delayed sentence was overdue to be carried out.
