Michael Bruce Ross (July 26, 1959 – May 13, 2005) was an American serial killer who committed at least eight murders and was nicknamed The Roadside Strangler. He was executed by the state of Connecticut in 2005. He was the last person executed in Connecticut before the state ended capital punishment, as the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled capital punishment unconstitutional in 2015, converting the sentences of the state's remaining death row inmates to life in prison without parole.
