FL Man Kills Restaurant Owner for Photographing him Without Permission

Enraged that his boss had taken his photo and posted it online, a 42-year-old restaurant dishwasher stabbed him to death in front of more than 20 customers as they ate dinner Thursday.

Now Tilus Lebrun’s photo will be posted many more times throughout the internet as he sits in jail on murder charges.

But Lebrun didn’t seem to have any regrets.

In fact, he waited more than ten days after Dimitrios Karaloukas, owner of the Jimmy the Greek restaurant in Palm Beach County, posted his photo online before killing him. It is unclear what the photo depicted because it is neither on the restaurant’s [__website__](http://photographyisnotacrime.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/www.jimmythegreekrestaurant.com) or [__Facebook page.__](http://photographyisnotacrime.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/111621595542419)

> While sitting in a deputy’s cruiser, Lebrun asked the deputy if he was Haitian, and when the deputy said yes, Lebrun spoke to him in Creole saying: “I killed him because he took my photograph on March 2 and posted it on the Internet.”
> In an interview at sheriff’s office headquarters, Lebrun told the deputy: “They need to learn how to respect people. I have three kids in Haiti. I know they will suffer, but they will survive,” according to the report.
> The deputy said while driving to headquarters for the interview, Lebrun repeatedly said Karaloukas had taken his photo without permission.

No word on whether the deputy nodded in agreement with Lebrun’s assessment.

Support our Mission

Help us build a database of bad cops

For almost 15 years, PINAC News has remained active despite continuous efforts by the government and Big Tech to shut us down by either arresting us for lawful activity or by restricting access to our readers under the pretense that we write about “social issues.”

Since we are forbidden from discussing social issues on social media, we have created forums on our site to allow us to fulfill our mission with as little restriction as possible. We welcome our readers to join our forums and support our mission by either donating, volunteering or both.

Our plan is to build a national database of bad cops obtained from public records maintained by local prosecutors. The goal is to teach our readers how to obtain these lists to ensure we cover every city, county and state in the country.

After all, the government has made it clear it will not police the police so the role falls upon us.

It will be our most ambitious project yet but it can only be done with your help.

But if we succeed, we will be able to keep innocent people out of prison.
