PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL – During the early morning hours of Wednesday, May 12, 2021, Customs Border Patrol came into contact with Haitian immigrants about 40 yards offshore of Jupiter Beach. As the boat was attempting to flee from the Customs Border Patrol three Haitian males jumped overboard. Two were later taken into custody. One was found floating nearby.

According to authorities, Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office Detectives are assisting Federal Agencies with the death investigation.
