Einstein Mondesir, a 21-year-old Black male, was fatally shot on April 29, 2017, in the Lucaya Delray neighborhood of Delray Beach, Florida. Mondesir and several others were gathered in a carport when witnesses said an argument began about 2 p.m., leading to a first shot. Mondesir was seen stumbling around a maroon Chevrolet Malibu, screaming in pain, before additional shots struck him in the chest.

The events reportedly began during a card game between Mondesir and Marvenson Gustave. Witnesses said Gustave threw money at Mondesir, who ripped off his shirt and challenged Gustave to a fight; Gustave declined and left with 17-year-old Steny Louis. The two returned in a silver Saturn station wagon, and Gustave allegedly pulled out a gun and shot Mondesir multiple times. Initial eyewitness identification named Louis as the shooter; he later denied firing and said Gustave did.

Louis and Gustave were arrested. Initially Louis faced second-degree murder and accessory-after-the-fact charges and Gustave faced first-degree murder charges. In 2019 both pleaded to lesser charges; Gustave, then 22, pleaded to manslaughter and received a 20-year sentence, and Louis, then 20, pleaded to felony battery and received credit for 866 days already spent in jail awaiting trial.
