After years of feeling ignored by police and the court system, the ex-wife of the man charged in a mid-July road rage shooting in South Seattle wants friends of the unarmed victim in that case to know the slain man 鈥渄idn鈥檛 die in vain鈥� and she considers Bob Jensen 鈥渉er hero.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 not surprised that Angel shot and killed someone,鈥� Soraya Cervantez told Friday鈥檚 Dori Monson Show listeners. 鈥淚n my opinion, it was a matter of when it was going to happen and who it was going to be.鈥�

Cervantez reached out to Dori after learning about her former husband Angel Valderrama鈥檚 role in the July 21 incident.

The shooting left Bob Jensen, 68, dead, while he was on his way for a routine mid-morning coffee at the Costco near the 4400 block of Fourth Avenue South.

Though Valderrama, 38, told police he fired in self-defense, witnesses and surveillance images contradict his version of events, King County prosecutors say. Valderrama has since been charged with second-degree murder and remains in jail in lieu of $2 million bail. His arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 1.

Meanwhile, Cervantez told Dori, prosecutors 鈥渁re accurate about their suspicions.鈥�

鈥淭his is a man who has been fascinated with firearms for as long as I can remember,鈥� Cervantez told Dori, adding that she reached out to his show because she felt it was important for her to publicly 鈥渟end sincere condolences to Robert Jensen鈥檚 family, friends and colleagues.鈥�

She went on to describe a volatile marriage, divorce and Valderrama鈥檚 鈥渓ong track record鈥� of gun-related threats of violence. Cervantez shared several police investigation case numbers, including two in Kirkland involving her ex-husband. In one case, he was investigated for threatening people attending a political candidate rally. In another, Valderrama was arrested in 2020 for threatening a delivery driver.

Before their marriage ended, Cervantez said she suffered 鈥渧iolent experiences and his road rage, being a (vehicle) passenger, provoking drivers out of their vehicles.鈥�

Since then, she said, she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder 鈥渇rom my time being with him due to his violent outrages.鈥�

Somehow, according to Cervantez, Valderrama was able to obtain firearms 鈥渆ven after petitions to the court,鈥� including temporary protection orders and welfare checks involving their now six-year-old child.

鈥淭his has been the experience for my family and I every time we exchange our daughter: every time we exchange our daughter at public transfer places, Angel always makes sure his handgun is in our line of sight,鈥� she told Dori. 鈥淗e parks in a way where we can see him opening his truck arranging and rearranging his rifles and assault rifles. At a very young age, our child knew what an AR (assault rifle) was.鈥�

In another incident, Cervantez said, Normandy Park police responded to 鈥渁n altercation with the daycare director鈥� where their daughter attended. The director 鈥渨as threatened with her life,鈥� she told Dori. 鈥淭his was another situation where there was no follow-up from the court system nor the police department so these violent acts that I have recorded and documented have been ignored for years.鈥�

It wasn鈥檛 until Valderrama鈥檚 arrest several weeks after the road-rage shooting involving Jensen that Cervantez felt anyone acted on her concerns. For that, she said, she considers Jensen her 鈥渉ero.鈥�

鈥淚 was reading how Cowboy Bob, how he was a very giving man . . . how he helped his neighbors,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 admired him helping his mom until her passing. His hydroplane community, his friends from grade school, Mark Fasano, Buddy Green . . . I just wanted to tell them Bob鈥檚 death wasn鈥檛 in vain.”

鈥淭he moment he (Bob) hunched over in his truck and took his last breath, he was helping two strangers 鈥� and that was my daughter and I 鈥� because we didn鈥檛 have enough outcry about his (Valderrama鈥檚) violent acts. No one has heard us. Although Bob has passed, he passed in honor and he passed as my hero,鈥� Cervantez continued.

鈥淪o you truly believe that if Angel is convicted of this murder, Bob鈥檚 death saved the lives of your and your daughter?鈥� Dori asked.

鈥淲ithout a shadow of a doubt,鈥� she responded. 鈥淲ithout a shadow of a doubt.鈥�
