LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Victor Colon Jr. was sentenced to life in prison, almost two years since 21-year-old Isaiah Robles was shot and killed in a road rage incident in Lehigh Acres.
"You made your bed, now you have to lie in it," said Judge Frank Porter shortly after passing sentence.
Colon is the second of two men charged with Robles' murder. Ricky Ruiz was sentenced to life in prison last month.
A jury took about an hour to find the two men guilty.
According to investigators, Ruiz shot the victim 16 times after chasing him through rush hour traffic on Feb. 19, 2020.
Prosecutors say Ruiz and his accomplice fled the southwest Florida area after the shooting, only to be arrested in Miami by federal marshals.
Video provided by the Lee County Sheriff's Office shows the incident taking place. It's a scene that plays back repeatedly for family and friends who have waited for justice for two years.
"My family understood that we needed God's will to take place and we needed to come to an understanding that justice would prevail," said a Robles family member.
"Let us not forget the lives that have been sacrificed he was a friend even to the perpetrator. We will never be the same again."
