Morales was working at the university’s department of dining services and gathered for a meeting when the shooting began.

His brother, Rick Morales Jr,, confirmed his death on X late Thursday night.

“Today we lost my younger Brother, He was one of the victims killed at FSU,” he wrote.

“He loved his job at FSU and his beautiful Wife and Daughter. I’m glad you were in my Life.”

Robert was the son of Ricardo “Monkey” Morales, who worked as an anti-Castro militant throughout the 1960s and 1970s, the Miami Herald reported.

The CIA operative died at 43 years old in 1982 following a bar fight in Miami.

His death was deemed a “justifiable homicide,” however, rumors swirled that he didn’t really die in a bar fight due to his controversial job.

Robert, who was a teenager at the time, was deeply affected by the death, according to his brother.

During the Cold War era, the victim’s father was actively involved in espionage activities. He held significant positions within various government agencies, including the CIA, FBI, DEA, the Israeli Mossad, and Venezuela’s DISIP.

Robert’s father had numerous brushes with the law but was often protected from prosecution.

Ricardo took part in the 1961 failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, as he worked with the CIA to defeat Fidel Castro.

Robert’s older brother, Rick Jr., claimed that their father also had ties to JFK’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.

Rick Jr. said his father worked as a sniper instructor in the 1960s, where he helped train Oswald following Kennedy’s death.
