JOEL RONDON | Father Went Back to Get His Cigarettes but Forgot His Baby, Leaving Her Unattended in His Vehicle for Hours and Killing Her After a Night of Intoxication and Drug Use; Sentenced to 20 Years | ALS
LongfellowSerenade 67
Joel Rondon, a 33-year-old father from Lakeland, Florida, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the aggravated manslaughter of his 18-month-old daughter, Isabella, who died after being left in a hot car. The incident occurred on July 4, 2023, when Rondon and his wife attended a party; they mistakenly believed Isabella had been brought inside after returning home. The following morning, Rondon found Isabella unresponsive in the car, where temperatures had reached as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit; she was pronounced dead later that day. Both parents tested positive for alcohol and drugs shortly after the incident, which likely impaired their judgment regarding their child's safety. While Joel pleaded guilty and received his sentence in August 2023, his wife Jazmine has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

A Father's Neglect: The Tragic Death of Isabella Rondon
Basic Information
Joel Rondon, born in 1990 in Lakeland, Florida, is currently incarcerated at a Florida state prison following his conviction for aggravated manslaughter of a child. Prior to this, his criminal record included arrests for attempted murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Background
Details about Rondon's early life and family background are limited. He was married to Jazmine Rondon, and together they had three children. At the time of the incident, Rondon was employed, although specific information about his occupation is not publicly available.
Criminal Activity
On the night of July 4, 2023, Joel and Jazmine attended an Independence Day party in Lakeland with their three children, aged 8, 6, and 18 months. They returned home around 2 a.m. on July 5. Jazmine took the two older children inside, instructing Joel to bring in the youngest, Isabella. Joel, however, assumed Jazmine had already done so and went to bed without verifying. Neither parent confirmed the child's whereabouts.
The next morning, around 11 a.m., Joel realized Isabella was missing and found her still strapped in her car seat inside the vehicle, which was parked in direct sunlight. Despite rushing her to Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, Isabella was pronounced dead at 2:42 p.m., with an internal body temperature of 104.4 degrees Fahrenheit. An autopsy confirmed the cause of death as hyperthermia due to being left in a hot car.
Subsequent investigations revealed that both parents had consumed alcohol and drugs, including methamphetamine and marijuana, impairing their judgment.
Legal Proceedings
Joel Rondon was arrested on July 6, 2023, by the Polk County Sheriff's Office and charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child, a first-degree felony. He pleaded guilty in August 2024 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison by Judge Jalal Harb in November 2024. His wife, Jazmine, also faced the same charge and pleaded not guilty; her legal proceedings were ongoing as of December 2024.
Impact on Victims and Society
The death of Isabella Rondon deeply affected the community and highlighted the dangers of leaving children unattended in vehicles, especially in hot climates. The case sparked public outrage and discussions on parental responsibility and substance abuse. It also led to increased awareness campaigns about the risks of hot car deaths and the importance of child safety measures.
Current Status
Joel Rondon is serving his 20-year sentence in a Florida state prison. There is no public information indicating participation in rehabilitation programs. Given the nature of his crime, he is considered a low risk to society upon release, provided he receives appropriate counseling and support.
Conclusion
The tragic death of Isabella Rondon serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of negligence and substance abuse. It underscores the critical importance of parental vigilance and the need for community support systems to prevent such incidents. This case has prompted discussions on implementing stricter laws and educational programs to safeguard children from similar tragedies.
Additional Note
Given the notoriety of this case, any autographed items associated with Joel Rondon may hold value for collectors interested in criminal history memorabilia, due to their rarity and the public attention surrounding the incident.
