Manuel Jerome Poole, 51, was found fatally shot on the second-floor porch of his West Palm Beach apartment on 13th Street on January 5, 2017. Known as Jabo to those who knew him, Poole died at the scene after being struck by a single bullet.

Police identified Poole’s neighbor, 51-year-old Nathaniel Royal, as the shooter. Witnesses reported Royal fired one shot that killed Poole. Royal was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and related offenses and pleaded not guilty; motive was not detailed in initial reports. Friends and family remembered Poole as a beloved grandfather and community member, and his death marked the first confirmed homicide in the Palm Beach Lakes South community since at least 2009.

Does anyone have information about Poole, his time on 13th Street, or the night of January 5, 2017 that could help fill in gaps?
