ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — A St. Johns County jury has found a man guilty on multiple charges following a three-day trial stemming from a domestic violence incident involving a firearm, prosecutors said.
52-year-old Yuvrajjit Singh Gill was convicted of two counts of Armed False Imprisonment, Aggravated Assault with a Firearm, Improper Exhibition of a Firearm, Domestic Violence Battery, Battery, and Tampering with a Witness by Depriving Communication to Law Enforcement.
According to evidence presented at trial, the incident occurred on May 2, 2025, when Gill threatened his wife with a gun, forced her into a bedroom, and repeatedly struck her with his fists and a shoe.
Prosecutors said the couple’s son entered the room during the assault. Gill allegedly took the child’s phone and ordered him to sit beside his mother while continuing the attack, holding both at gunpoint for more than an hour.
Authorities said the victims were eventually able to escape to a neighbor’s home and contact law enforcement.
Deputies with the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene and recovered a firearm matching the victims’ description inside the residence. Gill was taken into custody.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant State Attorneys Monica Smith and Bailie McLaughlin. Judge Christopher Ferebee presided over the trial and is scheduled to sentence Gill on May 4, 2026.
