Man who killed 2 women he met a day apart in north Florida bars in 1996 is put to death

Associated Press  

STARKE, Fla. — A man who killed two women after meeting them a day apart in north Florida bars in 1996 was put to death Tuesday evening. The execution started promptly at 6 p.m. Zack was asked if he had any last words, and he answered, “Yes sir.” He then lifted his head to look at the witnesses and said, “I love you all.” He was executed for the murder of Ravonne Smith, a bar employee he befriended and later beat and stabbed with an oyster knife in June 1996. The pawn shop suspected the items were stolen and Zack fled and hid in an empty house for two days before he was arrested, according to court records. On Monday afternoon, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Zack’s appeal for a stay of execution without comment.
