A crazed lifelong criminal allegedly stalked three tourists before killing them in a savage, random attack in Florida, the victims’ families said Tuesday.
Douglas Kraft, 68, of Columbus, Ohio; Robert Kraft, 70, of Holland, Michigan; and James Puchan, 68, of Galena, Ohio, were in Florida to attend a car show when they were allegedly gunned down by Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, a local man with a lengthy rap sheet including attempted murder.
“They attended the Mecum Car Show in Kissimmee, Florida, with brothers and longtime friends and were staying at an Airbnb,” the victims’ families said in a statement, shared by the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
“While waiting for assistance after rental car trouble and preparing to travel home, they were being observed from a distance by an unknown individual who was well-known to local law enforcement,” the statement continued.
“There were no known interactions between the men and this individual prior to the event; they were then approached and senselessly murdered. This was a random, tragic act,” the statement went on.
Brothers Douglas and Robert, and their friend, James, were described as “three wonderful men,” whose deaths left their families “with an unexpected, unimaginable loss.”
Bojeh, whose house is next door to the rental property the trio were renting, was arrested just an hour later on three counts of first-degree murder.
He was previously charged with attempted murder over a 2021 shooting at a Wawa gas station in Kissimmee before he was acquitted on insanity grounds.
