Vinel Lamour, a 30-year-old security guard, was fatally shot at about 1 a.m. on January 25, 2015, while on duty at the Center Court Apartments guard shack, 14899 Northeast 18th Avenue in North Miami. Officers who responded to reports of a male down at the guardhouse found Lamour on the floor with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Ryder Trauma Center and pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Police quickly identified a suspect and arrested 21-year-old Loudy Joseph within days, charging him with first-degree murder. Investigators said forensic evidence helped link Joseph to the shooting; the motive remains unclear. Lamour’s family and the community have been left grieving and seeking accountability as the case moves through the courts.
