The man cleared in a deadly St. Augustine shooting was convicted of carrying a firearm into a prohibited place, and sentenced to 60 days in jail following the shooting death of Adam Amoia in 2021.
Circuit Judge R. Lee Smith in St. Johns County sentenced Luis Casado to 60 days in jail following the shooting death of Adam Amoia in St. Augustine in 2021.
The shooting happened in May 2021 outside the now-closed Dos Gatos bar in downtown St. Augustine and was“This court certainly in our prior ruling I want to make sure it’s known it’s not a reflection on what kind of man Adam Amoia was,” Smith said. “Mr. Casado walked into two cars that night with a loaded firearm in his pocket.”under Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, so the manslaughter charge was dropped.“Adam, I love you forever, and I will never stop fighting for you.
Diane Amoia, Amoia’s mother, sent a letter to the judge before the hearing, writing, in part, “I am begging you to sentence him to the full extent. My hope is that you will.” “Just two weeks before his death Adam bought his own house. He worked so hard to get it. He was so happy,” she added in her statement. “As a parent, you always hope you never get that dreaded phone call when they say your child is sick, hurt or in an accident.”
Amoia’s best friend Brittany Jones remembered him as a successful business owner who “supported his friend’s adventures.”
