Cliff Perard, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 21, 2022, in Sanford, Florida, during an eviction at a home on Anderson Circle. Perard was at the property to evict a tenant when an argument with the tenant, 51-year-old Andre Crist, escalated and Crist shot Perard multiple times in the backyard. A second man who was with Perard was critically injured and taken to a hospital.

Andre Crist fled the scene after the shooting but was later arrested by the Sanford Police Department and charged with first-degree murder in Perard’s death and attempted murder for the injured man. Perard’s family and community mourned his loss; he was described as a hardworking father and husband. The dispute over Crist’s eviction is reported as the catalyst for the fatal confrontation.

Does anyone have additional details about the eviction or the events at the Anderson Circle property that night?
