A former engineer at Lockheed Martin with a masters degree from UCF – just days away from starting a new job in South Florida – was shot and killed in an apparent robbery near Valencia College, police said. Police have not confirmed that account, but CBS affiliate WKMG reports that it was the second armed robbery to occur in that apartment complex last week.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Bosso’s girlfriend ran to a neighbor near Valencia College, but before help could arrive more assailants arrived ultimately killing him.
Robert Bosso’s father said the 28-year-old and his girlfriend were approached by between three and five men late Saturday night near Bosso’s apartment. The actions of Bosso weren’t surprising to his father who described his son as a religious and caring person.
Bosso and his girlfriend were returning from dinner when he sacrificed himself to save her life.
Channel 9 learned Bosso graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2013 and worked for Lockheed Martin until recently.
“He was going to do something different with his life”, she said. I just don’t understand it. He was just 28 years old.
