Florida 'Frequent Flyer' Accused of Killing Tourists

Three tourists visiting Central Florida for the Mecum Car Show were tragically killed in a seemingly random act of violence. The victims, identified as Robert Luis Kraft, Douglas Joseph Kraft, and James John Puchan, were outside their Airbnb awaiting a replacement rental car due to prior issues when they were fatally shot. The suspect, 29-year-old Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, who lived next door, was apprehended with two firearms.

Bojeh has a documented history with the criminal justice system, including charges for attempted first-degree murder and aggravated battery in 2021, though he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in that case. His prior record also includes felony drug possession and resisting an officer.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has criticized legal loopholes that he believes allow violent offenders to be released. He is advocating for the Florida Legislature to narrow the insanity defense to ensure individuals like Bojeh remain institutionalized. The Osceola County Sheriff's Office has confirmed the suspect is in custody and there is no further threat to the community. The investigation into whether the recovered weapons were used in the murders is ongoing.
