No details were provided by the police chief, except that the incident occurred during one of two rap concerts taking place Sunday evening, placing the time of the incident between 6:00 and 9:00 pm. The annual event draws crowds of 30,000 – 40,000 during weekend festivities.
“There’s no way in the world (to have a suspect),” said chief of police Vince Demasi, “It’s part of a larger issue that we’re going to have to sit down with the event promoters and review safety.” Chief Demasi went on to say that he has many concerns with what he saw while attending the event for the first time as acting chief. Demasi was sworn in during the fall of 2012.
Overwhelming crowds such as those that attend SunFest often lead to personal injuries in South Florida. While local police and event staff focus great efforts on keeping our citizens safe, there is always a risk of confrontation in such settings, especially when alcohol may be involved. Our attorneys’ hearts go out to the victim and their family, and we wish a full recovery.
