Alberto Hernandez, a 38-year-old Hispanic man from Lake Worth, died on November 10, 2019, after being shot in his home on Cambridge Street. The shooting began in the early morning when 19-year-old James Deon Bryant Jr. arrived at the house around 2 a.m. and was let inside by Hernandez’s 15-year-old daughter. Later that morning Hernandez and his wife found Bryant in the teenager’s bedroom. According to accounts, Bryant produced a gun and said he wasn’t going to go to jail. Hernandez closed the bedroom door and shouted for his wife to call 911, and then a gunshot rang out.

Hernandez charged at Bryant, a physical struggle ensued, and both men were shot—Hernandez in the torso and Bryant in the leg. Hernandez managed to walk out of the room before collapsing in the hallway. Deputies arriving around 11 a.m. found both wounded; Hernandez was taken to Delray Community Hospital and pronounced dead. Bryant fled the house, jumped a fence, was located nearby, and was later arrested the following day on second-degree murder and weapons charges. Does anyone have information about the events that morning or knew Alberto and his family?
