Sean Jadriel Burgos-Jimenez was an 18-year-old from Fort Walton Beach, Florida, who was shot and killed on July 7, 2022. A recent high school graduate and new father, he had been described as close to his family and trying to make positive changes in his life.

On the day he died Sean went to the Fort Walton Beach Recreation Center with two 15-year-olds, identified as Brandon Lee Lanieux and Trevor Brown. The three were involved in an illegal transaction inside Sean’s car when the teenagers armed themselves and robbed him of two loaded firearms. A struggle broke out as the suspects tried to flee; several shots were fired and Sean was struck in the chest. He collapsed in the parking lot and was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving efforts.

Police recovered one loaded gun and suspected narcotics at the scene and later arrested Lanieux and Brown, who were charged with armed robbery and felony murder. Reports say the shooting was not random and that Sean knew the suspects.

If anyone knew Sean, Brandon Lanieux, or Trevor Brown and has information about the events at the recreation center, please come forward.
