In December 2023, a newlywed couple was gunned down outside their own home — just one week after their wedding. The killer? The bride's ex-husband. And what he did next is almost as chilling as the crime itself. On December 9, 2023, Sony Josaphat drove to a home on Summit Run Circle in West Palm Beach, Florida, where his ex-wife — a nurse practitioner — lived with her new husband, a pastor. The couple had been married only a week. According to investigators, when Josaphat saw someone installing a security camera by the front door, "anger took over." He pulled out a pistol and opened fire, shooting both victims multiple times. Then, in a stunning move, Josaphat fled the scene and drove himself straight to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, where he turned himself in and confessed. He even called his own pastor to admit what he'd done. On April 10, after a jury found him guilty of two counts of first-degree murder, Sony Josaphat was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, with credit for 854 days already served. In this video, we break down the timeline, the confession, and how a week of newlywed happiness ended in an unthinkable double homicide. 🔔 Subscribe to A Matter of Crime for more real cases, breakdowns, and courtroom outcomes. 👇 What do you think about this case?
