On November 19, 2024, U.S. District Judge Wendy W. Berger sentenced Luis Enrique Rosado, 29, of Orlando, to 27 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The court also ordered the forfeiture of the firearms seized during his arrest. Rosado pleaded guilty to the charge on July 1, 2024.
According to court documents, on August 20, 2023, Rosado was stopped by Orlando Police Department officers for multiple traffic violations. During the traffic stop, Rosado denied having firearms in his vehicle. However, as he retrieved his registration, the officer observed a black rifle near the front passenger seat. Upon confirming that Rosado was a nineteen-time convicted felon, officers detained him and conducted a search of the vehicle.
The search revealed a rifle and shotgun between the front seat and center console, a pistol in the glove compartment, and various ammunition throughout the vehicle. Rosado’s prior convictions include grand theft of a motor vehicle, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, and over a dozen vehicle burglaries, making it illegal for him to possess firearms or ammunition under federal law.
The case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Orlando Police Department and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Sartoian.
