Fatal Shooting at Osceola County Short-Term Rental Party — Attorney911 Holds Property Owners & Booking Platforms Liable for Negligent Security & Foreseeable Violence, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Wrongful Death, We Preserve Ring Camera & Booking Records Before They Disappear, Florida Wrongful Death Act Allows Parents to Recover for Mental Pain & Suffering — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Your Child Was Shot at a House Party in Osceola County. Here Is What Happens Next. You did not expect to be reading this. Someone you love — a seventeen-year-old — went to what was supposed to be a party at a rented house in Kissimmee or Celebration or one of the other Osceola County subdivisions, and the next contact was a sheriff’s deputy telling you they were gone. The shooter has not been named. No arrests have been made. The investigation is open. And you are sitting in a silence no one can fix. We want to say three things before anything else. First, we are sorry. Second, you did not lose your child because of bad luck alone — a rented house in a residential neighborhood was turned into an unmonitored late-night event, and that is a chain of decisions someone made for profit, and the law gives you a way to hold each link in that chain responsible. Third, this page will tell you exactly what that means, what your rights are under Florida law, who can be sued, how much time you have, what evidence is disappearing right now, and what our firm does when a…

Airbnb Party Shooting & Wrongful Death in Kissimmee — Attorney911 Holds Short-Term Rental Owners and Platforms Liable for Unsecured Gatherings That Invite Gun Violence, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues These Cases, We Preserve Social Media Footage and Gate Logs Before They Disappear, Florida’s Wrongful-Death Act Allows Parents to Recover for the Loss of a Child, the Firm Has Recovered Millions in Fatal Negligent-Security Cases — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

A 17-Year-Old’s Life Ended Inside a Gated Community — What His Family Can Do Now The grandmother is right: nobody should have to stand in a hospital corridor for hours waiting to learn whether the child they raised will live. And the pain does not end when the machines go quiet. It changes shape. It becomes the empty bedroom, the Marine recruiter’s unanswered call, the birthday that will come without him. We have sat across kitchen tables from families in this exact moment, and we have learned that what they need most in the first seventy-two hours is not sympathy — it is a clear, honest map of what the law actually allows them to do. We are Attorney911. We work these cases. If your family lost a child, a parent, or a partner to a shooting at a short-term rental, a house party, or anywhere else in Kissimmee or anywhere in Florida, the page below tells you, in plain English, what the law says, who can be held responsible, what evidence exists and how fast it disappears, and what your family can actually recover. There is no charge to talk. We work on contingency, so you owe us nothing…

You Got the Call at 2 a.m. The phone rang and the voice on the other end told you your seventeen-year-old child had been shot at a house party in Kissimmee. By the time you reached the hospital, or the medical examiner’s office, or the sidewalk where deputies were stringing tape, you had already been failed once — by whoever decided that a short-term rental full of teenagers, late at night, with no security, no supervision, and a firearm on the premises, was a circumstance anyone with money should have allowed to happen. You are reading this because a stranger on the internet is telling you the law has a name for what was done to your child, and a way to find out who is responsible. That is true. It is also true that the days immediately after a child’s death are when the most important evidence in the case is either saved or lost forever. So we are going to tell you what the law says, who the responsible parties are, what you must do in the next seventy-two hours, and how we work — in that order. Past results depend on the facts of each case and…

The Phone Call That Changes Everything We understand what just happened. A teenager — your son, your daughter, your brother, your friend — went to a party at a house in a Davenport neighborhood. By the time the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office cleared the scene, he was gone. Two others were hospitalized. Investigators say he was not the intended target. Within hours, the GoFundMe reads “His life was stolen by people who were irresponsible with guns,” and a family is sitting at a kitchen table reading that sentence out loud to each other. That is the moment we write to. This page is for the family of the 18-year-old Lake County student killed in the April 20, 2026 shooting on Sommerset Hills Drive, and for any other family in Osceola County or anywhere in Central Florida that has been told a loved one was killed at a party someone else organized, in a house someone else owned, on property someone else was paid to manage. We are the trial attorneys at Attorney911, and we want to answer the question you are asking tonight: who answers for this, and what do we do now? What We Know About the Sommerset Hills…

When Your Child Was Killed at a Short-Term Rental in Kissimmee — and No One Has Been Arrested You are reading this because the worst thing that can happen to a family happened to yours. A seventeen-year-old boy was shot and killed at an Airbnb in Kissimmee on March 14, 2026. His body was found in the pool area of the property. The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office has not made an arrest. A $5,000 reward is being offered. The family has spoken publicly at a vigil and asked for justice. We know what you are carrying right now. We know the questions that arrive at 3 a.m. We know that the sheriff’s office is working a homicide, and that the official investigation is one track, and that another track — the civil track — is one most families never hear about until it is too late. That second track is where our firm lives. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. Ralph P. Manginello has spent more than 27 years in courtrooms in Texas and across the country, including federal court, and has built a reputation for cases the defense would rather not have to fight.

Fatal Short-Term Rental Shooting at Kissimmee Airbnb Party — Attorney911 Holds Property Owners & Management Companies Liable for Negligent Security in Florida’s Wrongful Death Cases, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues These Tragedies, We Preserve Security Footage & Prior Incident Reports Before They’re Overwritten, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Families of Wrongful Death Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Kissimmee Short-Term Rental Shooting: What a Grieving Family Needs to Know About Florida Wrongful Death Claims Your phone rang. Someone told you a teenager was shot at a party at a rented house near a pool. Hours later, the same someone called again and said he was gone. Your world split in two, and you are now reading this page from the wrong side of that line — the side where someone you love was killed and you have no idea what comes next, who pays, how long you have, or whether anyone other than the shooter can be held to account. This page answers those questions in the order you actually need them. We write it because we have handled cases where young people were killed in short-term rentals, at pools, and in properties the owners and platforms should have known were unsafe. We write it because Florida law gives you rights the average family does not know exist, and because the most important decisions in your case must be made in the next 14 days — not the next 14 months. We write it because the clock that protects your evidence is already running. If your family has…

Fort Lauderdale Airbnb Rape Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds the Short-Term Rental Platform Liable for Negligent Security After Cleaner Was Zip-Tied, Assaulted at Knife-Point in a Property With Two Prior Break-Ins — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Sexual Assault Cases, We Preserve the Prior-Incident Police Reports and Security Footage Before They Are Overwritten, Florida’s Premises Liability Doctrine on Foreseeability and Failure to Warn, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Catastrophic Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

We Are Here Because You Are Still Living With What Happened to You You were doing your job. You showed up to clean a home in Fort Lauderdale on the morning of August 28, 2024, the way you had shown up dozens, maybe hundreds of times before. You let yourself in. You set down your supplies. And then a man you had never seen before forced his way in, flashed a knife, threw you to the ground, and zip-tied you before he raped you. We are not going to tell you that what happened to you is something to “get past” or “move forward from.” We are not going to use the language of self-help books. We are going to tell you what the law actually says about what was done to you, and what it obligates the people responsible to do about it. This page is about the case that has been filed against Airbnb and the property owner, and about the law of negligent security in Florida that makes those defendants answerable for what happened to you. It is also about the evidence, the deadlines, and the people who are about to contact you with friendly-sounding offers to…

Fort Lauderdale Airbnb Sexual Assault Lawsuit: Attorney911 Holds Short-Term Rental Platforms & Property Owners Liable for Violent Home Invasion & Negligent Security After Jane Doe Attacked with Knife & Zip Ties During Cleaning — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Trauma, We Preserve Prior Crime Reports & Electronic Lock Logs Before They’re Deleted, Florida’s Foreseeable-Crime Doctrine & Failure-to-Warn Liability, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Sexual Assault Survivors — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

The Intruder Came Through the Front Door While You Were Working Inside You took a job cleaning a vacation rental in Fort Lauderdale. You showed up in the middle of the day. You were inside the home on SW 19th Street, doing what you were hired to do. Then a man came through that door, brandished a knife, put zip ties on your wrists, and did the unthinkable. That is not a “tragedy.” That is a failure. A failure of locks, of cameras, of warnings, of a platform that markets itself as safe and a property owner who knew — because police had been called to that same address before — that danger was already on the property. We represent people who are hurt because someone else failed the most basic duty there is: keeping them from being attacked in a place they were told was safe enough to work. If you are reading this in the days or weeks after an attack, we are sorry for what has happened to you. We want you to understand what the law can do about it, and we want to do it for you. We take cases like this in Fort Lauderdale…

Sex Trafficking & Hotel Liability Lawsuit in Dania Beach: Attorney911 Holds Choice Hotels International & Franchisors Accountable Under TVPRA for Failing to Prevent Trafficking at Rodeway Inn & Suites Near Fort Lauderdale Airport — Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Insider Who Knows How the Claims Machine Undervalues Human-Trafficking Cases, We Preserve Hotel Registration Logs, Security Footage & Staff Training Records Before They Are Destroyed, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Victims of Severe Exploitation — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

If This Is What You’re Going Through, Read This First You were trafficked out of a room at a Rodeway Inn on West State Road 84 in Dania Beach. Maybe it happened over weeks. Maybe it stretched into a year. Maybe someone you love was the one in that room, and you only found out after the fact — when the credit cards stopped making sense, or the texts stopped coming, or the police knocked on a door you never expected them to knock on. Whatever brought you to this page, here is what you need to know right now: you are not to blame. The decisions that put you in that room were made by the trafficker. The decisions that kept the front desk handing over keys — week after week, cash by the hour, no ID, no questions — those were made by the hotel. The hotel took money from a setup that was happening in its building. The law in this country says that is not okay, and the law gives you a real path to hold every company in that chain responsible. We work these cases. We know how the hotels are structured, how the records…

21-Day Sex Trafficking Captivity of a Jacksonville Minor with a Mental Disability at Baymont Inn & Suites — Attorney911 Holds Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and AMPN Hospitality Accountable Under TVPRA and Florida’s Civil Remedy for Human Trafficking, Ralph Manginello’s 27+ Years of Federal-Court Trial Practice, Lupe Peña the Former Insurance-Defense Attorney Who Knows How the Claims Machine Values and Denies These Cases, We Preserve the Cash-Payment Folios, Keycard Logs and Prior-Incident Reports Before They Vanish, the Firm Has Recovered Millions for Catastrophic Injury Victims — Free 24/7 Consultation, No Fee Unless We Win, Hablamos Español, 1-888-ATTY-911

Holding a Jacksonville Hotel Accountable for Twenty-One Days of Captivity If someone you love spent three weeks locked in a hotel room on Blanding Boulevard — beaten daily, assaulted by strangers, traded like a thing while staff handed a key across the counter without a question — you are not asking whether the law applies. You are asking whether anyone will do anything about it. The answer our firm gives is the same one we give in every case where a commercial institution made money from human suffering it should have seen and chose not to: yes, and the path forward is stronger than the defense wants you to believe. Florida law gives trafficking survivors a civil remedy most states do not. Federal law gives them a decade — or, for a child, ten years from the day they turn eighteen. The hotel’s safety obligation did not vanish because the booking was paid in cash or because the man at the desk did not ask the right questions. The records the front desk generated, the cameras mounted over the lobby, and the franchise standards manual the property was supposed to follow are the spine of the case — and most…
