Emmanuel Philippe, 29, was shot and killed outside his Boynton Beach home south of the Hypoluxo Scrub Natural Area on the evening of July 9, 2019. Known as Jefferson, he worked at TGI Friday’s since age 19 and had brought his mother from Haiti to live with his family. He is survived by three children, seven brothers, three sisters, his father and his mother.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Emmanuel became involved in a confrontation with 20-year-old Jeffrey Terasme, who was dating the aunt of Emmanuel’s children. During that altercation, 22-year-old Anderson Arthur pulled out a gun and shot Emmanuel in the head. Deputies arrived shortly after 8 p.m. and found Emmanuel dead. Arthur was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; Terasme was arrested and charged as an accessory after the murder, with bail set at $250,000. The motive was reported as unclear, though Emmanuel reportedly had ongoing issues with Terasme and did not want him at the home.
