Rocky Beamon

Beamon committed suicide on death row on June 10, 2020. He was 42 years old.

In May 2018, Beamon wrote a letter to Judge Christopher Patterson in which he said that killing sex offenders "was the best feeling I’ve had in a long time." He pledged to continue targeting victims if he was not sentenced to death. "I’ll do my best to eliminate every single one until one of three things happens: (1) someone kills me, (2) I run out of people to kill, or (3) they put me where I can kill no more, death row," the letter said. He told Judge Patterson "if you don’t send me to death row, I vow to dedicate my next to you." In another letter, Beamon wrote "I will continue to take lives until someone in here takes mine or I reach my goal, death row, so please send me there. If you set me free, it's blood on your hands."

On January 22, 2017, Beamon killed 27-year-old Nicholas Anderson, who had been serving a 20-year sentence for child molestation. He bound and strangled Anderson before cutting his neck with a homemade weapon.

On July 5, 2012, Beamon killed a fellow inmate, 44-year-old Brian Hunsicker. Beamon stalked his second victim for days, before attacking him in a prison shower. He choked Hunsicker and stabbed him more than 80 times with a homemade shank. Afterward, he rinsed himself off before flushing the shank, a towel, and a pair of boxers, before proceeding to dinner. In his confession, Beamon had stated that Hunsicker also owed him money.

On February 6, 2005, Rocky Beamon and his girlfriend, Karen Wilkins, murdered Debbie Lacey. Beamon hit Lacey, tied her hands behind her back, and held her in water until she drowned. They then took her car and traded it with two men for crack cocaine. The two were arrested after police found the two men driving Lacey's car.

Hunsicker had been serving six life terms for an attack on a 10-year-old girl in 2001. He broke into her house while she was sleeping and then raped her at knifepoint before fleeing. After he left, the girl ran to her parents' room and told them what happened. Hunsicker was found a few blocks away. Orlando police later found more than 1,000 neatly folded children's garments in Hunsicker's home. They also learned that he'd served time in prison for molesting a 5-year-old girl in 1992. At his sentencing hearing, the judge had called Hunsicker "a parent's worst nightmare".

Rocky Beamon (December 10, 1977 – June 10, 2020) was an American serial killer who killed three people, including two fellow inmates in prison. While serving a life sentence for murder, Beamon murdered two inmates, both of whom served time for sex crimes against children. He would profess his hatred for sex offenders, saying that killing them gave him "the best feeling I’ve had in a long time", and that he would continue to kill them unless he was executed. Beamon was sentenced to death but committed suicide on death row in 2020.
