Eugene Robertson Sentenced to 143 Years in Prison

Eugene Robertson has been sentenced to 143 years in prison after being convicted of pointing a gun at a Burger King drive-thru worker who refused to accept drugs as payment and subsequently shooting at others in Aurora, Colorado, on October 17, 2022. A jury found him guilty of 17 counts, including eight counts of attempted murder, with sentences stacked due to the severity of his crimes. The district attorney emphasized that this lengthy sentence serves as a warning against violent crime in the community. Following the drive-thru incident, Robertson entered a nearby convenience store where he threatened a clerk and fired at a surveillance camera before shooting towards two individuals outside. Witnesses noted his erratic behavior, including discussions about God while carrying a Bible. Later that night, he was arrested after a friend called 911 reporting shots fired at her apartment after she refused to open the door to him.
