CLEWISTON — On Friday, May 26, 2023, Hendry County Deputies arrested 29-year-old Adrian Abel Rojas Gonzalez for attempting to kill his spouse.

Deputies were dispatched to the area of Montura Ranch Estates after receiving a call for help. The victim reported that their spouse was trying to shoot them.

Deputies made contact with the victim and noticed visible signs of injuries to the victim’s head and facial area. It was learned that Rojas Gonzalez was intoxicated and had been outside with a friend while he was armed. The victim and a member of the suspect’s family went to locate Rojas Gonzalez and bring him back home, at which point he became angry and fired the gun at the victim’s feet.

The victim returned to the home and a short time later received a call from Rojas Gonzalez telling the victim to come outside. The victim stepped outside to speak with Rojas Gonzalez, and it was at that time he told the victim to get into the truck. He told the victim to get inside the vehicle because he was going to kill them. He then raised his gun and fired at the victim. The victim went on to say that once inside the truck with the suspect, he began beating and kicking the victim and at one point struck the victim several times with the firearm. The victim was able to run from the suspect and call for help.

Deputies were able to make contact with Rojas Gonzalez and took him into custody charging him with Attempted Murder, Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Resisting Officer without Violence. Rojas Gonzalez is currently being held in the Hendry County Jail on $355,000.00 bond.
