He was shot dead in the early hours of **Tuesday morning**, and the worst part is that **no one saw it coming** — not his friends, not his neighborhood, and certainly not the man himself. Police in **West Palm Beach** say they were alerted by their **gunshot detection system** just before **3:30 a.m.**, prompting officers to rush to the
1100 block of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard**. When they arrived, they found a man known locally as **LI Tank** lying on the ground, bleeding from a gunshot wound. Despite the quick response, it was already too late — he was pronounced **dead at the scene**.Though authorities have not yet released his legal name, to everyone who knew him,
“LI Tank”** was his true identity — a name that carried weight and warmth in his community. Friends describe him as **genuine, loyal, and kindhearted**, someone who looked out for others and never sought trouble. “He wasn’t about drama; he was about love,” one friend said at a makeshift memorial that quickly grew near the scene. Candles, photos, and handwritten notes now mark the spot where his life was taken.
Detectives are actively investigating the circumstances of the shooting but have not identified any **suspects or motive**. Nearby surveillance cameras are being reviewed, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The area was closed for several hours as investigators collected shell casings and other evidence from the street.
For those who knew LI Tank, the shock remains unbearable. The senseless loss of a man described as “the glue of the block” has left many searching for answers and justice. As one neighbor said quietly, looking at the flickering candles, “He didn’t deserve this. None of them ever do.” The investigation remains ongoing.
