Robert Sommerville
I actually know a little bit
about this case. The now-convicted klller, Robert Sommerville, 68, and I
have some acquaintances in common. When I first heard this story I
assumed that the shooter was a street crazy. I am assured by those who
knew him that this was not so. However, he cleared made a very bad
judgement call which is costing him dearly.
On
January 31 of 2022 Fire Captain Max Fortuna, 47, was in an official
vehicle, in uniform, responding to a dumpster fire near a building owned
by Sommerville. Sommerville shot and killed him, allegedly mistaking
him for a criminal attempting to forcibly enter his property.
Sommerville has just been found guilty of murder in the killing. He has
been held without bail due to issues he has had in the past with
showing up for court multiple times for DUI charges.
He will be sentenced on April 10.
