LaCroze’s mother is the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in Broward Circuit Court against the Seminole Tribe and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, alleging the Tribe was negligent in myriad ways. The father of four died just before 12:30 a.m. He was shot in the head, and first responders found him inside the car, with the door open, his leg hanging out and jewelry pendants and broken jewelry lying next to him. LaCroze, 37, of North Lauderdale, never made it into the casino - or even out of his car. That night was going to be like any other - LaCroze arrived with money to spend.īut the jewelry he wore around his neck caught the eye of a young man in the parking garage. It was a summer night in 2020, and he had ventured there many nights before. LaCroze parked his Mercedes-Benz on the sixth floor of the Winner’s Way parking garage at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood.
