Carjacking in Boca – North Broward Prep Grad?
Saturday morning Edoardo Trovato (18) was booked into the county jail after an arrest by Boca Raton PD on various charges including a carjacking/robbery with a firearm or weapon, unarmed burglary of an unoccupied car, and stealing law enforcement equipment from an emergency vehicle.
Mr. Trovato remains in custody at this writing with bond set at a total of $18,000.
The carjacking charge is particularly serious. Normally it’s a first-degree felony which is already a big deal. But the court file shows it is charged under ยง812.133(2A), involving a deadly weapon, and that means the sentence can go as high as life in prison.
We see no prior criminal history for Mr. Trovato. If it’s the same guy he is a native of Italy, a Broward Prep grad, and a current or former student at Lynn University. He also appears to be a fan of the late Tupac Shakur:
His reported address is the Wyndham Hotel on Glades near Military Trail.
We expect to have more information on this case within the next couple of days.
