Michael Bernard Bell

Michael Bernard Bell is a convicted murderer who was sentenced to death for the 1993 shooting of a young couple in Jacksonville, Florida. His actions were reportedly motivated by a desire for revenge following the death of his brother, Lamar Bell, who had been killed earlier that year. Bell's case has been marked by a lengthy series of appeals spanning over three decades, and he is scheduled to be executed on July 15, 2025, making him the 26th person to be executed in the United States that year.
