Man who killed his girlfriend’s baby and threw the body in a pond is executed in Florida

Andrew Richard Lukehart was executed in Florida for killing his girlfriend's 5-month-old daughter, Gabrielle Hanshaw, in 1996 by dropping and shaking her before throwing her body in a pond. The execution marked Florida's eighth this year under Governor Ron DeSantis, who oversaw more executions in 2025 than any other Florida governor since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.
