Carl Huggens Rene Jr., a 19-year-old Black male, was killed on June 28, 2020, in West Palm Beach, Florida. He and his girlfriend had traveled from Tallahassee to West Palm Beach, where his girlfriend learned that Rene had another girlfriend. That discovery led to a planned confrontation at the Waverly Apartments off Summit Pines Boulevard.

A group of about 10–15 women and several men gathered for the altercation. During the fight, 21-year-old Youry Gassendy Pierre Louis allegedly produced a gun and shot Rene in the head; Rene was found deceased at the scene by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Witnesses identified Pierre Louis as the shooter, and he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.

The investigation states the fight was planned and the presence of a firearm turned it fatal. Does anyone have information about who attended that gathering or saw events leading up to the shooting?
