Jeff Estime, 23, of Delray Beach, Florida, was fatally shot on December 4, 2020, in a neighborhood near Military Trail and Lake Ida Road. The encounter lasted about five seconds and ended when Estime’s car struck a mailbox; passersby found him slumped forward in the driver’s seat, bleeding from the torso, wrist, and above the lip.

Osias said he acted in self-defense and alleged Estime had pointed a gun at him first. Prosecutors said there was no evidence Estime had a gun, and noted Osias had bought the firearm used in the shooting a week earlier; the weapon was found tucked in Osias’ waistband when he was arrested three days later on an outstanding warrant. A judge denied a motion to dismiss under Florida’s stand your ground law for lack of evidence supporting Osias’ claim that Estime had a gun. The jury convicted Osias of manslaughter with a weapon, a first-degree felony; sentencing was scheduled for September 9.
