JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A Jacksonville man will spend the rest of his life in prison for a deadly crime spree that left four people dead.
The First Judicial Circuit says Owen Cosme was sentenced to four life terms for a 2021 triple murder in Moncrief, plus 25 years for a separate 2020 shooting.

Cosme had pleaded guilty to all charges earlier this year.
Back in February 2021, officers heard gunfire in the Moncrief area and saw a car speeding from the scene.
Police chased the vehicle, which ended with Cosme and others being taken into custody.
Investigators say Cosme and a group planned to rob someone at an apartment complex.
When a man opened the door, Cosme fired over 20 shots, killing three people inside.

Detectives collected shell casings from the scene and later linked them to a 2020 murder using a ballistic database.
That earlier shooting happened outside an apartment in July 2020. The victim was shot more than 20 times.
Cosme knew the victim. Investigators say they were in a dispute over child custody.
