Justin Scott VanMeter, 28, of Lake Worth, Florida, was fatally shot on July 9, 2017, after leaving the Hypoluxo Food Market in Boynton Beach. VanMeter, a server at the Cracker Barrel in Boynton Beach, had just received a $100 tip and was captured on surveillance entering the market and speaking with Jean Mary Marcherno. The two men shook hands before VanMeter left and walked into an alley; Marcherno followed and then shot him. VanMeter stumbled back to the front of the store and was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he died.

Investigators say Marcherno was accompanied by McIntosh Pierre-Paul, who drove a white Mazda registered to Angela Lavallo. The Mazda fled the scene after the shooting. Authorities later arrested Marcherno, Pierre-Paul and Lavallo. Marcherno pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed robbery and received a 40-year state prison sentence. Pierre-Paul was convicted of first-degree murder and robbery and sentenced to life with a mandatory minimum of 10 years. Lavallo pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and served three years.

The case record notes that the shooting appeared motivated by the $100 tip, that the driver turned off the vehicle’s lights as they approached in the alley, and that no one called 911 or rendered aid after the shooting. If anyone knew Justin, his movements that night, or saw the white Mazda, please share what is known.
