Walson Alcide, aged 46, was tragically killed on August 24, 2015, in Boynton Beach, Florida. The incident occurred during a home invasion at a residence on North Seacrest Boulevard. Alcide was at the home of Nelson Collin, who operated a Haitian-style lottery, to purchase a ticket when two men, Junior Volcy and Caslyn Darinus, entered the house with the intent to rob.
According to police reports, Volcy brandished a silver and black gun and ordered Alcide and Collin to the ground while Darinus searched the home for cash. Alcide resisted their demands and engaged in a struggle with Volcy, who subsequently shot him in the chest. Collin was also shot in the abdomen but survived the attack and was taken to Delray Medical Center for treatment.
Following the murder, law enforcement swiftly identified and apprehended the suspects. Junior Volcy was arrested just two days after the incident and charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, home invasion robbery, and aggravated assault with a firearm. Caslyn Darinus initially fled to New York and then to Haiti to evade capture. However, he was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Haitian National Police on December 12, 2015, and subsequently extradited to Florida. Darinus faced similar charges, including first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, home invasion robbery, and aggravated assault with a firearm.
The legal proceedings against both suspects were significant. Volcy and Darinus were both held without bail and faced multiple charges related to the home invasion and murder. The case highlighted the collaborative efforts of local and international law enforcement agencies in bringing the suspects to justice. The tragic death of Walson Alcide underscored the dangers of violent crime and the impact it has on communities. The investigation and subsequent arrests demonstrated the commitment of law enforcement to pursue justice for victims and their families.
