'Pure evil in the flesh': Brothers tricked man they met online, lured him to park where they robbed and murdered him for 'street cred'
Story by David Harris • 20h
Two Florida brothers will spend the rest of their days behind bars for murdering a man one of them met online and established a fake relationship so they could kill him in order to establish "street cred."
Angel Lobato, 23, and Jo Lobato, 24, were sentenced to life in prison after juries convicted them of first-degree murder, armed robbery and other charges in the 2020 death of Danne Frazier. Angel Lobato received his sentence last week while his brother's fate was sealed in November.
According to prosecutors, Jo Lobato sparked a conversation with the 21-year-old Frazier online about a month before the shooting under the false pretense of a potential romantic relationship. But the Lobatos had no intention of romance — they actually wanted to rob and kill the victim because they saw him as an "easy target," prosecutors said.
