Loxahatchee Groves — More than a month after the fatal shooting of 24-year-old Seth Adams, his grieving family’s unanswered questions include why Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Sgt. Michael Custer did not come to his aid, according to the third attorney asked by the family to represent them.“Why would the officer retreat after shooting the suspect and let the victim/suspect unlock a gate and make it 300-plus feet back toward residence that is on property?” Palm Beach Gardens attorney Brian LaBovick said in an email to The Palm Beach Post Monday. “What was the officer doing in this timeframe that he walked this far and also made two phone calls?”After he was shot in a parking lot around 11:30 p.m., Adams crawled about 300 feet toward the family’s trailer, according to his family. He was flown to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach where he was pronounced dead at 1:58 a.m. on May 17.If the investigation shows that the family is correct in saying that Custer did not render aid to the Loxahatchee Groves man, Custer’s actions would be in violation of the sheriff’s use of force policy.
