Intruder Shot To Death After Breaking Into Home (FL)

NBC6 ^ | July 13, 2005

Burglars bring utility vans to housebreakings, not brand-new BMW's. If he can go out and steal BMW's, what's he doing robbing houses?

I think the whole thing is fishy. I don't think he was a common burglar.

[ARCADIA]

Boyfriend? Don't be too hasty to judge this one...

He was 18 she was 17 and the old man shot him dead. It sure sounds like it.

[Vor Lady]

Thanks for the ping.

"Wonder how old the daughter was. Late night rendevous gone bad. Or good for that matter"

If it was a rendevous gone bad all I can do is quote Mr. Rythm from the movie DC Cab..."Don't let your dick rule your life" wise words, there are always consequences

[ahayes]

Ah-hah, ex?-boyfriend.

I wanna know more! Wacking an intruder, burgler, or protecting yourself is one thing, but it sounds like there's more.

[Brilliant]

If he broke in the house, the fact that he was an EX boyfriend makes me all the more comfortable that he got what he had coming.

[ahayes]

It sounds like this may be murder. The guy was an ex- or maybe current boyfriend of the daughter, and the neighbors report that his car had been at the house all day. He had a key to the house. He was shot twice at short range in the face. The father is known to have disliked him. To me it looks like maybe he and the daughter got back together and the father got home and found him there and wasn't too pleased about it, or perhaps the father was there at the same time and they had an argument.

Maybe, but if he broke in, the father walks.

DC Cab? Theres a blast from the past...LOL. Theres another good quote from that movie I can't mention 8>)

[Sundown2005]

"He had a key to the house..."

Wotthehell?

You're not a member of MY family, YOU don't get a key

[Thinkin' Gal]

Wonder how old the daughter was. Late night rendevous gone bad. Or good for that matter

Who's got a picture of Marty McFly going home to the wrong house?

[Northern Alliance]

Yeah, I suspected something like that. But he had a key!

Geez, if you are prepared to shoot unidentified intruders you got to have control over who has keys to the place! I know I will get flack for this, but someone should be charged with something on this one.

[Brilliant]

Agreed. But I bet the girl doesn't get many dates after this.

Daughter to Dad: "Daddy, by boyfriend was sneaking into my room at night through my bedroom window, and I told him it was OK to come in through the door . . . I left the door unlocked for him."

[goodnesswins]

It was 1:45 AM in the morning.....I don't care whether you have a KEY OR NOT....YOU BETTER WAKE SOMEONE UP if you're GOING to GO INTO a house.....or have previously TOLD THEM YOU'D be entering about that time!!!

"The victim was identified as 18-year-old Richard Rojas..."

"Ro-jas" is "No-loss"...I love happy endings...
