Three men were killed in a shooting in Florida, including two from Ohio, while attending a car show in Central Florida, according to their families.
According to News Center 7, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office in Florida responded to a shots-fired call around 12:15 p.m. near the 200 block of Indian Point Circle in Kissimmee.
The shooting killed three men: brothers Douglas Kraft, 68, of Columbus, and Robert Kraft, 69, of Holland, Michigan, as well as a friend, James John Puchnan, of Columbus.
According to our Florida sister station, WFTV 9, the victims’ families reported the three men leased an Airbnb in Kissimmee to attend the Mecum Car Show with their brothers and longtime friends.
According to authorities, the crime occurred as the victims were waiting for a new rental car after their first vehicle broke down at the end of their trip.
The suspect in the shooting has a history of mental health concerns and was found not guilty by reason of insanity after allegedly firing at automobiles at a Wawa petrol station in 2021, wounding one.
According to court records, Bojeh was ordered to obtain therapy at the Park Place Behavioral Mental Health institution.
According to his case manager, 8 months after being released from jail in 2023, Bojeh attended all of his required appointments, got a job at McDonald’s, and took his meds as prescribed.
According to WFTV 9, Bojeh was ordered by the court not to own or have access to firearms, and he had to live at his parents’ home on Indian Pointe Circle.
Investigators said they found two weapons at Bojeh’s residence after carrying out a search request in connection with the Saturday shooting.
Investigators are still attempting to determine whether the seized firearms were the ones used in the shooting.
“I can tell you he was a threat to that neighborhood all the time,” stated Osceola County Sheriff Christopher Blackmon.
In a press conference, Blackmon stated that deputies had responded to Bojeh’s home on Indian Circle several times.
“These three wonderful men did not deserve this. Our families are left with an unexpected, unimaginable loss that cannot be put into words,” said the victims’ families in a statement.
