A Florida cop’s attacker, Kevin Rojas, faced a shocking courtroom moment during his sentencing after attempting to murder an undercover officer from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The incident unfolded when Rojas, then 19, fired at the officer four times while the officer was with his teenage son during an off-duty encounter. The officer was struck in the face, stomach, and hand, but miraculously, his son remained unharmed.
After fleeing the scene, Rojas barricaded himself at home following a car theft and crash. Refusing to surrender, he was shot multiple times by police through a glass door. Rojas, seemingly unremorseful, was sentenced to life in prison for attempted first-degree murder, attempted manslaughter, and other charges.
During the proceedings, the officer, undeterred by Rojas’ demeanor, confronted him directly with a bold message, brandishing a bottle of KY Jelly as a symbol of what he might encounter in prison. The officer’s gesture received mixed reactions on social media, with some applauding his audacity and others questioning its professionalism.
As Rojas’ family left the courtroom in tears, the gravity of his sentence became apparent. While Rojas appeared callous, the future ahead serves as a stark reminder that actions have consequences. Time may eventually bring understanding to Rojas, but for now, he faces the harsh reality of a tormented existence behind bars.
