James Dupree Henry (January 17, 1950 – September 20, 1984) was an American criminal who was executed in Florida for the murder of civil rights leader Zellie Riley.[1] Henry slashed Riley's throat during a robbery in Orlando on March 23, 1974. He also shot and almost killed Orlando detective Ronald E. Ferguson during his arrest five days later.[2]

While on death row, civil rights leaders Jesse Jackson and Coretta Scott King advocated for officials to stop his execution. William Riley, Zellie Riley's son, also called on officials to not execute Henry.[3] Ultimately, on September 20, 1984, Henry was executed via the electric chair.[4][5][6]
