  • Suspect in triple homicide arrested in Osceola County, deputies say

I have a daughter, thank God she’s not here. It’s concerning, especially that this individual was shot publicly in an open area like a gas station over a simple thing as an argument and was released. It’s scary but not surprising, you know.”In May 2021, Bojeh was involved in a shooting incident at a WAWA convenience store, where shots were fired into random cars, injuring one man who survived.Although Bojeh faced multiple charges, he was “acquitted by reason of insanity” when the case went to trial the following year.His criminal history includes mostly small, non-violent crimes and drug arrests in Osceola and Orange counties, with nothing indicating a motive for a triple murder.The sheriff’s office said the victims are from out of state, and they are working to notify their next of kin.>> This is a developing news story and will be updated as more information is released.

  • Kissimmee fire department adds first new engine in 15 years, expands staff

    The city of Kissimmee welcomed a new addition to its fire department Wednesday morning, unveiling its fifth engine during a traditional wet-down and push-back ceremony.The ceremony honors a long-standing tradition dating back to the days of horse-drawn fire equipment, when crews would manually push engines into the station.Fire Chief Jim Walls said the new engine is the first the department has added in more than 15 years and will help meet the demands of the city’s growing population.“It will help our capability to respond out to the community and provide ALS engine support,” Walls said. “It really does enhance our community and helps with the call volume with our trucks here originally, so it reduces the amount of calls they’re running per shift.”Walls also announced that the department will hire 12 new firefighters to staff the engine, with additional personnel expected to join by the end of October.The new engine is expected to improve response times, enhance emergency services and provide additional support across Kissimmee’s expanding neighborhoods.

  • 2 injured in Osceola County road rage shooting, sheriff’s office investigating

    Two people were injured following a road rage shooting in Poinciana on Tuesday afternoon, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office. The shooting occurred sometime after 4 p.m. near the area of Cypress Parkway and Marigold Avenue, a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office told WESH 2. The sheriff’s office said the shooting occurred after Jose Gabriel Astacio, 30, got out of his 2016 Mercedes GLE and exchanged words with the victims.Soon after the victims attempted to leave the intersection, Astacio fired three shots into the passenger side of the Ford Expedition, hitting the front-right passenger, a 41-year-old male, in the face. At the same time, the driver suffered injuries after being grazed by a bullet.The driver of the Expedition that was shot at then drove to the nearby HCA Poinciana Hospital, where the passenger was later airlifted to Osceola Regional. “This is an ongoing problem not only here in Osceola County but in Central Florida, road rage,” said Kim Montes of the Osceola County sheriff’s office. “You cannot let your emotions take over driving. We cannot take things personally when you’re driving and somebody cuts you off, whether it’s intentional or unintentional. We cannot let our emotions fuel our anger so much that it comes to this.”With the assistance of the Miami-Dade County Robbery Intervention Unit, Astacio was located in South Florida on Sept 24. He was taken into custody in Hialeah. His vehicle was later located hidden near a residence in Kissimmee. Once in custody, a large amount of cash and drugs were found on his person. Astacio was booked into the Miami-Dade jail on local charges, according to Osceola deputies.Pending extradition back to Osceola County, a warrant has been issued for Astacio for the following charges: attempted murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and shooting into an occupied vehicle.

  • Osceola County deputies search for suspect in Kissimmee hotel shooting

    The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office has issued a “Be on the Lookout” alert for Shahzaib Ahmed Khan, who is accused of fatally shooting David Donahue-Alayon at a Kissimmee hotel early Wednesday morning.Captain Kim Montes, the public information officer for the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, said, “You know unfortunately, we do suspect it could have been an argument over some kind of drug transaction or involving some type of drugs.”Deputies were called to the Irlo Hotel on West Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee around 1 a.m., where they found Donahue-Alayon dead and face down on the ground. “We had the medical examiner come out and reveal to us he had suffered a gunshot wound to the chest so now we have a murder,” Montes explained.Investigators believe both the victim and the suspect knew each other and are known to law enforcement. “Both men have a long history with law enforcement including drugs and weapons charges but that still does not excuse somebody for taking somebody’s life,” Montes said.Khan, 33, is considered armed and dangerous, and authorities are unsure if he remains in the Kissimmee area. “We do believe he’s still armed, so we don’t want anyone approaching him. We’re not sure if he’s still in Osceola County so we have put this bolo out to other surrounding counties, to other agencies,” Montes said.Anyone who comes in contact with Khan is urged to notify the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, call 911, or contact Crime Line.

  • Kissimmee commissioner proposes turning garages into affordable housing

    Kissimmee commissioner proposes turning garages into affordable housing

    KISSIMMEE, Fla. – A Kissimmee commissioner is advocating for remodeling residential garages into affordable housing units.

    How it would work: in theory, a homeowner would rent their remodeled garage and the renter would save money by receiving a lower rate than larger apartments on the market.

    Mayor Pro-tem Angela Eady said she got the idea after she discovered a couple and their young child were sleeping in their vehicle near her home.

    “I looked at my garage, and I was like, ‘Wait a minute, wait a minute, why can’t we convert garages into studio apartments? That might help,’” Eady said.

    [EXCLUSIVE: Become a News 6 Insider (it’s FREE) | PINIT! Share your photos]

    Eady presented the idea to the commission during its May 7 meeting. The board voted to instruct staff to look into what the next steps would be.

    “It’s going to take some time. You know, they didn’t build Rome in a night, so we have to look at all the obstacles that we come across and the benefits of this — the whole nine yards,” Eady said.

    So far, the discussions limit the garage conversion to only homesteaded properties outside an HOA community.

    “I would say if you are in need of extra income, and if you are compassionate about people, then this might be something that you might want to pursue,” Eady said.

    According to the Florida Department of Health, Osceola County’s estimated homeless population grew from 214 in 2019 to 358 in 2023.

  • Marilyn Mosby avoids prison time after long legal battle

    Marilyn Mosby avoids prison time after long legal battle

    Following her conviction for mortgage fraud and perjury, former Baltimore State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby received a 12-month home detention sentence and three years of supervised release. U.S. District Judge Lydia Kay Griggsby handed down the sentence on Thursday, May 23, after a protracted and highly publicized legal battle that has stirred significant debate over race, politics, and justice.

    Mosby, 44, gained national attention in 2015 for charging six Baltimore police officers in the death of Freddie Gray, a Black man fatally injured in police custody. Gray’s death led to riots and protests in the city. After three officers were acquitted, Mosby’s office dropped charges against the other three officers.

    In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Mosby withdrew $90,000 from Baltimore City’s deferred compensation plan and used it to make down payments on vacation homes in Kissimmee and Longboat Key, Florida. Prosecutors argued that Mosby improperly accessed the funds under provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act by falsely claiming that the pandemic had harmed her travel-oriented side business.

    Earl Glover, 30, made a habit of almost exclusively targeting merchandise on display — such as cellphones and laptops — ripping the devices from their security cables, triggering an alarm and running out of the stores, some of which he pilfered from more than once, according a sworn complaint filed last year by the Melbourne Police Department.
