On July 7, 2022, at approximately 3:45 PM, three subjects arrived at the Fort Walton
Beach City Recreation Center located at 132 Jet Drive and parked.

• The victim, Sean Yadriel Burgos-Jimenez, was the driver of the vehicle and two suspects were seated inside the vehicle with him.

While inside the vehicle, the suspects engaged in an illegal transaction, according to the FWB Police Department.

During the transaction, the two suspects armed themselves and robbed the victim of two loaded firearms and attempted to flee from the vehicle. The victim attempted to stop the suspects and pursued one suspect.

• A struggle started over the firearm.
• Several shots were fired, and the victim sustained a gunshot wound to his chest.
• He collapsed in the parking lot and both suspects fled the scene.

Bystanders and responding officers located the victim in the parking lot of the recreation center and they immediately attempted life-saving efforts, but the victim did not survive the wound and was pronounced deceased at the scene by Emergency Medical Personnel.

At the same time, citizens were providing officers with information on the two suspects who fled from the Recreation Center. The suspects were located by alert officers nearby. Officers recovered a loaded firearm and suspected narcotics.
