Jonathan Granados — a 16-year-old from Lakeland, Florida — is not an unfamiliar face to law enforcement in the area.The Polk County Sheriff's Office said the youngster has a carjacking conviction under his belt and was on a conditional release when he recently perpetrated a number of new felonies.'If he’s Superman, then my detectives are his kryptonite.' The sheriff's office said it got a call on April 2 from a roofing business indicating that employees found spent shell casings on the ground.Officials said a review of the company's security video showed a silver Chevrolet Malibu arriving and parking, after which an unidentified male approached the car on foot and shot at it multiple times until the driver fled in the vehicle. The suspect then ran away, officials said.Detectives were able to identify the driver of the Malibu as a 19-year-old from Lakeland, officials said.On April 9, deputies stopped the Malibu, and detectives responded to the traffic stop to interview the 19-year-old, who lied and said his car was shot when it was parked at his home while he was sleeping, authorities said.The 19-year-old made several inconsistent statements regarding why his car was hit with so many gunshots, until he was told about the roofing business' security video, officials said, adding that he admitted to being at the roofing business when the shooting occurred. He told detectives that he arrived in the area to fight with someone but wouldn't divulge the name of the individual, officials said.RELATED: Thug with long rap sheet attacks 64-year-old ex-girlfriend in convenience store; when good Samaritan tries to intervene, attacker beats him unconscious: Authorities Image source: Polk County (Fla.) Sheriff's OfficeInvestigating detectives obtained search warrants for the Malibu and the 19-year-old’s cell phone and social media accounts, officials said, adding that authorities determined that on the date of the shooting, the victim was headed to Granados' house before diverting due to a law enforcement presence. Instead, the victim went to the roofing company and told Granados to meet him there, officials said.Granados also was identified as being part of an Instagram chat that law enforcement said was related to meeting up for the fight.The sheriff's office said an affidavit indicates Granados used "ambush tactics" while approaching the victim's car and firing a gun "in an attempt to kill" the victim; in addition, the affidavit adds that Granados' shots hit the silver Chevrolet Malibu which the victim "occupied," according to authorities.With that, detectives went to Granados' home to take him into custody on a warrant and during a search found a loaded Glock model 19 9mm handgun with an extended magazine containing 28 rounds — and modified with a "switch" that illegally gives it a fully automatic firing capability, officials said.Granados admitted to owning the gun, ordering the switch online, and installing it himself, authorities noted, adding that the affidavit also says Granados told detectives he "felt like Superman" when he fired the gun.Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd had the following to say about the teen's "Superman" reference: "If he’s Superman, then my detectives are his kryptonite."RELATED: Florida Sheriff Grady Judd blasts squatters as 'dopers and freeloaders,' warns they're in for a 'one-way ride to the county jail' Polk County (Fla.)

The conservative firebrand warned of Iran’s growing nuclear threat just earlier this month.For decades, Iran has insisted its nuclear program is peaceful, aimed at energy production and medical advancements. But reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency revealed a troubling reality: Iran has been stockpiling near weapons-grade uranium and conducting secret nuclear activities.Mark Levin has long been sounding the alarm, warning that Iran’s actions point to a dangerous ambition — one that could threaten global stability.Earlier this month, he warned that Iran would soon be “ready to roll.” Early Friday morning, Israel took action against Iran’s growing power when it launched a large-scale military operation, code-named Operation Rising Lion, targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and senior leadership. The strikes hit key sites — including the Natanz nuclear enrichment facility, military bases, and residences of top officials — and killed several high-ranking Iranian military commanders, including Revolutionary Guard Commander Hossein Salami, and nuclear scientists. — (@) — (@) — (@) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu framed the operation as a last resort against Iran’s growing nuclear power that he claimed was getting dangerously near to culminating in a nuclear weapon. President Trump has asserted that the U.S. was notified but did not participate in the strike. In a phone interview with CNN, he praised the operation as “a very successful attack.” — (@) Mark Levin’s warnings have been proven right, as Israel’s decisive strike underscores the urgent threat he foresaw in Iran’s nuclear ambitions.Want more from Mark Levin?To enjoy more of "the Great One" — Mark Levin as you've never seen him before — subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
