How the Public Can Help

  • If you have any information regarding the identity or relatives of the 18-year-old victim, you are urged to contact the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office immediately.
  • Spread the word about this appeal through social media and other public platforms to increase the chances of reaching someone who knows the family.

Authorities are emphasizing the importance of community support in such situations. A timely response can make a significant difference in the ongoing investigation and in helping the victim’s family navigate this difficult time.
