On November 15, 2024, Brandon Rahming, 43, was found with fatal gunshot injuries near the intersection of Northeast Second Street and Northeast 12th Avenue, close to the New Disciples Worship Center in Boynton Beach, Florida. Boynton Beach Fire Rescue pronounced Rahming dead at the scene after officers from the Boynton Beach Police Department arrived. A neighbor reported hearing two shots, and police say the shooting followed an altercation between two men.

Investigators, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service, identified a person of interest as 50-year-old Rodney Askins, who matched a witness description of the shooter. Askins was encountered by police and found to be carrying a small amount of crack cocaine; a search warrant at his home recovered two firearms, ammunition, and a hat and bicycle matching the shooter’s description. Askins was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on a charge of First Degree Murder with a Firearm and remains in custody awaiting further legal proceedings.
