Upon arrival, deputies encountered the suspect engaged in a physical struggle with his mother and father while armed with a kitchen knife.  Deputies repeatedly issued verbal commands for the suspect to drop the knife; however, he refused to comply and continued fighting with his father while remaining armed.

In an effort to de-escalate the situation, a deputy deployed a Taser, but it was ineffective. Despite repeated commands to drop the knife the suspect continued the violent altercation while still holding the knife, a deputy discharged his service weapon, striking the suspect in the torso.

Deputies immediately rendered medical aid until Palm Beach County Fire Rescue arrived. The suspect was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

In accordance with standard agency protocol, the involved deputies have been placed on administrative leave. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, and PBSO’s Violent Crimes Division are actively investigating the incident.

In an effort to protect the safety of those most vulnerable roadway users, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office will conduct High Visibility Enforcement Details (HVE) from July 28, 2026 to May 7, 2027 at specific intersections throughout central Palm Beach County.

HVE details are funded through a contract with the University of North Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation’s focused initiative to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety.

The goal of this enforcement effort is to increase awareness of and compliance with traffic laws that protect the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists.

Our enforcement efforts will focus primarily on education to drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists. However, violations may result in a warning or citation being issued depending on the circumstance.

Remember:

• Drivers, obey speed limits, never drive impaired and always watch for pedestrians and bicyclists, especially in intersections.
• Bicyclists, obey traffic laws, ride in the direction of traffic flow, always use lights when riding at night.
• Pedestrians, cross in crosswalks or at intersections, obey pedestrian signals, and make sure you are visible to drivers when walking at night.
