Posted on January 4, 2022January 4, 2022 by HaggardTeam

The Haggard Law Firm’s Adam Finkel and Michael Haggard obtained a $6 Million policy limit, pre-suit settlement in a negligent security wrongful death and personal injury case, involving a shooting near a boat dock in the Florida Keys.

As was the custom, Pepe hung around after work to share a few drinks with friends and play dominoes.

That Monday, between 4 and 5:00 p.m., Pepe was hanging out near some lobster traps in the middle of the property, drinking vodka and socializing with other fishermen, including Iliecer “Amarillo” Noa. At one point, two unknown men (not fishermen) approached and yelled towards Amarillo about the whereabouts of another local fisherman. After Amarillo stated that he was unaware of the person’s whereabouts, an argument ensued. Gunshots followed, and Pepe was killed. Amarillo suffered severe injuries, as well, and was represented by The Mustell Law Firm as co-counsel.
