Bienaime Pierre, age 61, was tragically killed on February 18, 2004, in Immokalee, Florida. He was found deceased alongside Merilus Raphael, aged 57, at a residence on 2nd Street. Both men died as a result of gunshot wounds. The circumstances surrounding the double homicide have remained largely unsolved, leaving a void in the community and in the lives of their families.
Despite an investigation by the Collier County Sheriff's Office, no arrests have been made, and the case remains cold. Authorities collected evidence from the scene, but there has been little progress in identifying suspects or motives for the murders. Both men were known to be residents of the Immokalee area, and their deaths have been a lingering mystery for nearly two decades. The investigation is ongoing, and the authorities have continued to request the community's assistance in providing any information that might help solve the case.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Collier County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers to help bring justice for Bienaime Pierre and Merilus Raphael.
