Ahmad Jihad Bojeh, who lived next door to the rental, was charged with three counts of premeditated murder and resisting arrest after deputies found him in his home about an hour following a random, "senseless" shooting that killed three tourists minutes from Disney's Magic Kingdom; he is being held without bond. Bojeh had a 2021 not‑guilty‑by‑reason‑of‑insanity verdict in an attempted first‑degree murder with a firearm and aggravated battery case and has prior arrests for felony drug possession and misdemeanor resisting an officer, prompting Sheriff Christopher Blackmon to call him a "frequent flyer" and Attorney General James Uthmeier to fault a suspended state attorney for not contesting the insanity defense.
