“Deadpool Killer” Gets Drug Sentence After Death Penalty for 2 Murders

"Deadpool Killer" Gets Drug Sentence After Death Penalty for 2 Murders

As a fervent admirer of true crime narratives, I find myself deeply disturbed by the case of Wade Wilson, the so-called “Deadpool Killer.” This man’s life story is a grim reminder of the depths to which humanity can sink, and it serves as a chilling cautionary tale.


Besides the double homicide, there were also other criminal charges leveled against the infamous figure known as “Deadpool Killer,” namely Wade Wilson, in recent times.

As a die-hard fan, I found myself back in a Florida court on August 29th, standing before the man who bears the same name as a Marvel hero. He confessed to illicitly transporting drugs within the jail’s walls last year, during the time he was awaiting his sentence following his 2019 conviction for first-degree murders of Kristine Melton, aged 35, and Diane Ruiz, both 43. The judge handed down the death penalty for these heinous crimes on August 27th.

Following his agreement to the plea bargain regarding 2023 felony accusations of attempting to illegally sell between 28 grams and 200 grams of amphetamines or methamphetamines, as well as conspiring to distribute these substances, Wilson was sentenced to 12 years in prison for each charge and ordered to pay a $50,000 fine by the state, as per court records obtained by TopMob News.

1. His prison terms will be served at the same time as his two death penalties. Additionally, due to a plea agreement, charges against Wilson related to an alleged escape attempt in 2010 have been dismissed, as reported by NBC2, quoting the Florida State Attorney’s Office.

The judge who handed down Wilson’s death penalty for the murders of Melton (aged 35) and Ruiz (aged 43), which took place on October 7, 2019, is also overseeing his drug trafficking case. This decision was made following a majority vote by the jury in previous proceedings.

Wilson admitted to police that he was responsible for the murders of both women shortly following the incidents. He claimed he killed Melton after their consensual encounter, took her car, and subsequently chose to attack Ruiz at random. After asking Ruiz for directions to a high school, he strangled her in his vehicle during transportation and intentionally ran her over multiple times with the same vehicle, as stated in the sentence sequence.

In the document acquired by TopMob News, Judge Nicholas Thompson wrote: “The evidence indicated that both murders were incredibly wicked, shocking, and brutal. Furthermore, it suggested that the second murder was deliberate, methodical, and planned in advance.”

The judge considered several factors before rendering the death sentence.

He pointed out that Wilson caused significant physical and emotional suffering to his victims. Additionally, he carried out these heinous crimes while already serving probation for past felony offenses. This includes the simultaneous commission of two first-degree murders, grand theft of a vehicle, battery, and burglary of a residence.

Wilson’s attorney has said he plans to appeal the death penalty sentence.

Wilson promptly surrendered to the police following the murders and admitted to taking the lives of both women. He explained that he had killed Melton after their consensual encounter, then stole her car and later chose Ruiz as a random victim. Upon asking Ruiz for directions to a school, he picked her up and subsequently strangled her while driving. Later, he intentionally ran over Ruiz multiple times with the vehicle, according to the sentence sequence.

In the document acquired by TopMob News, Judge Nicholas Thompson stated that the evidence presented clearly demonstrated both murders to be extremely wicked, horrific, and inhumane. Furthermore, he noted that the second murder was carefully planned and executed with a chilling indifference.

The judge considered several factors before rendering the death sentence.

As a devoted observer, I acknowledged that Wilson had inflicted substantial physical and emotional suffering upon his victims. Moreover, while still serving probation for past felony convictions, he cold-bloodedly carried out two first-degree murders simultaneously, accompanied by grand theft of a vehicle, battery, and burglary of a residence.

According to reports, Wilson’s legal representative announced they will challenge the capital punishment verdict. TopMob News attempted to get a statement from his lawyer regarding the drug allegations and attempted escape, but have yet to receive a response.
