Robert Bosso, 28, was shot and killed during an armed robbery on September 26, 2015, in Orlando, Florida, near his apartment at the Verona at Valencia Park Apartments. Bosso and his girlfriend were approached by a group of three to five masked men; one assailant pointed a gun at the girlfriend and demanded money. Bosso grabbed the gunman and told his girlfriend to run. He was shot during the struggle and was found dead in the complex parking lot after the girlfriend sought help from a neighbor.

Detectives described the suspects as males wearing dark clothing. Police noted a separate armed robbery at the same complex a few days earlier but had not confirmed a direct connection. Bosso, a University of Central Florida graduate with a master’s degree who had worked at Lockheed Martin and was due to start a new job in South Florida, is remembered by his family as courageous and selfless.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Orlando Police Department.
