GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Kyllian Rober Doby, 16, has been charged as an adult for allegedly pointing a gun at a victim after jumping a fence into the victim’s yard.
At about 6:57 p.m. on May 29, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to a residence in Holly Heights North, where the victim said he was sitting in his wheelchair by the fence in his yard when two males jumped over the fence, and one of them pointed a gun at him, putting him in fear for his life. He said the subject was wearing a tan hoodie and black pants, and he described the gun as a black handgun with an extended magazine.
The victim’s wife and son reportedly drove down the road, located the two males, and took a video of them; one was wearing a tan hoodie with black pants, and the other was wearing a dark green shirt with gray sweatpants and a black bag. The second male was later found to be 13 years old, and he does not appear to have been charged with any crime.
A deputy located Doby and activated the emergency lights on her marked patrol vehicle, but Doby allegedly ran. Deputies found Doby in the area, wearing white shorts and no shirt, and he reportedly apologized for running from them.
The handgun was reportedly found at the scene and matched the description provided by the victim; the victim also positively identified Doby as the subject who had pointed a gun at him. A deputy noted that Doby appeared to be the male wearing a tan hoodie in the video.
Doby has been charged as an adult with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. Doby has multiple juvenile convictions spanning 2022 to 2026, and a notation on a court document states that he was on juvenile probation at the time of his arrest; he also has a pending juvenile charge for resisting an officer without violence. Judge Susan Miller-Jones set bail at $150,000.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
I’ll bet $$ the 13 y.o. mamwill take care if his punishment.
Yeah….” It takes a village …” — how’s that working out?
Can’t wait to find out what the 16 year old is on probation for. Well on his way to a life of crime and hopefully a prison sentence.
There’s literally nothing in the arrest records or anything in this case that show he was on probation at the time.
“Doby has multiple juvenile convictions, but the specific charges are not currently available; he was on juvenile probation at the time of his arrest. ” – reading compression is a viture.
I read the actual arrest mittimus. It doesn’t say that. Making that assumption actually shows a profound ignorance of how the juvenile system works. Multiple convictions means it’s very unlikely this kid was on probation.
Reading COMPREHENSION is just as important as spelling, and knowing what words are. Just because it’s in the article doesn’t mean it is in the court file.
“possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent. Doby has multiple juvenile convictions”
I know what Misty meant, the kid is a bad seed…that’s why he’s being charged as an adult.
100% correct. Alachua Chronicle’s headline is wrong and misleading, and not based on factual information in the court record.
Look at the handwritten information on the Defendant Info Sheet and then go correct all your comments.
He’s literally NOT on probation despite how many unintelligent Alachua Chronicle readers down vote my comments. I’ve been in the juvenile courtroom when he’s been there. I know exactly what’s going on in his juvenile cases. The judge would’ve been insane to put someone with his history on probation. So the judge did not.
The parents of these kids also need to be held responsible. Maybe if we start pressing criminal charges against parents of delinquent children this crap will stop happening.
Let me know what parents with delinquent kids can do… when the parent has to work? Quit? sit up under the kid every day to make sure they are doing what they are supposed to? Then you’ll be complaining we all just want a free ride and assistance.. Discipline? Hell they carry guns..How? You can’t get your hands on them, then they are so manipulative if you do, you worry about going to jail.. parents supposed to lose their career? Until you are a parent who has a child who acts this way- you have no idea what the answer is! You have no idea what we go through with a child who acts like this. When you have exhausted all measures and there’s no resources for the kids- let me know what we are supposed to do. Some of these kids come from good homes, with discipline, structure, positive role models- what do we do?!?!
They’re not parents—more likely just state-subsidized breeders. Parents usually play more of an active role in their children’s lives.
On probation and running around with a pistl threatening people. Prison is where he needs to be, it might change his attitude.
Let’s investigate gun history too. Owning a gun has heightened responsibility. gun purchaser/owner, seller.
Future ICE officer in the making? Incredibly frightening who is allowed to wear a uniform, mask and carry a gun.

Invitado: always with the hardcore commi BS…
Ice wouldn’t exist if the illegals weren’t here…comprende? We’re a nation of laws…break the law, you go to jail… illegal immigrants belong in jail. Commit a crime, you go to jail…it’s very simple.
Are country would not exist without immigrants and worldwide commerce.
Laws need to apply to Law Enforcement and powerful people too.
