Grand Jury Indicts Ahmad Bojeh on Three First-Degree Murder Counts in Kissimmee Killings

Prosecutors will now evaluate whether to seek the death penalty through a capital case review panel.

Overview

  • State Attorney Monique Worrell announced the indictment of Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, 29, in the Jan. 17 shooting deaths of visitors Robert Luis Kraft, Douglas Joseph Kraft and James Puchan in Kissimmee.
  • The three men were in town for a car show and were shot while waiting for roadside assistance outside a short-term rental near where Bojeh lived, with no prior interactions reported.
  • Bojeh remains held without bond at the Osceola County Jail as the court moves toward a competency hearing set for April 20.
  • Court records show Bojeh was acquitted by reason of insanity in a 2021 shooting case and ordered to outpatient treatment, a history now factoring into pretrial and potential mitigation reviews.
  • Worrell said a panel will review whether capital punishment is legally authorized and appropriate, following earlier public pressure from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who criticized initial second-degree charges.
