A jury has reached a guilty verdict in a case involving a man accused of domestic violence, following a three-day trial, as reported by the State Attorney’s Office.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — On Friday, State Attorney R.J. Larizza’s office revealed that a resident of St. Augustine has been convicted of assaulting his wife and unlawfully detaining both her and their son at gunpoint.
The State Attorney’s Office detailed that on May 2, 2025, Yuvrajjit Gill threatened his wife with a firearm, forcibly took her to the master bedroom, and physically assaulted her using both his fists and a shoe.
During the incident, their son entered the room, at which point Gill allegedly confiscated the boy’s phone and commanded him to sit beside his mother while the assault continued. It is reported that Gill held his wife and son at gunpoint for more than an hour before they managed to flee to a neighbor’s residence for safety.
Upon arrival at the scene, deputies from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Gill, discovering a firearm that matched the description given by the victims.
On Friday, March 27, a St. Johns County jury found Gill guilty of two counts of armed false imprisonment, aggravated assault with a firearm, improper exhibition of a firearm, domestic violence battery, battery and tampering with a witness by depriving communication to law enforcement.
A sentencing date for Gill has been set for May 4.
