The shooting happened at the Avalon Miramar Park Place Apartments on Southwest 30th Court.

The victim, 36-year-old Alec Mathew Hugh-Sam, was found shot at the scene and rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where he died from his injuries.

According to a police report, Lapenta is the one who pulled the trigger after confronting Hugh-Sam and hsi girlfriend and demanding $3,500 in cash that they had.

Much of the report detailing how the shooting unfolded is redacted, but it appears Lapenta, Grinage and Collier were with Hugh-Sam and his girlfriend at a club partying hours before the shooting.

A physical altercation took place at the club and police were called, the report said.

Lapenta, Grinage and Collier confronted Hugh-Sam at the apartment complex hours later, where Lapenta fired a single shot that killed Hugh-Sam, the report said.
