On the early morning of July 19, 2026, 22-year-old Juliun Juju Stokes was shot and killed in Port St. Lucie, Florida, after a night of bowling with friends. The group returned to a residence on Southeast Rivergreen Circle and encountered Carl Loubeau, who investigators say was waiting for someone else and, motivated by jealousy, mistakenly identified Stokes as the person he sought. Loubeau allegedly initiated the confrontation and shot Stokes.

A second person present, identified as Walker and described as a cousin of Loubeau’s intended target, was also attacked by Loubeau. Walker fired back in self-defense, killing Loubeau. Port St. Lucie detectives concluded Loubeau was the aggressor and determined Walker acted lawfully in self-defense; no charges were filed against Walker and the deaths were ruled justifiable homicide in self-defense. Stokes is remembered by family and friends as a cherished young man whose life was senselessly cut short.

Did anyone in the area see the group that night or know Juliun’s usual places to go or people he spent time with?
