Boca Raton’s Jacqueline Herre And Jesse Klee Charged In Connection With A Murder In Lake Worth Beach Earlier This Week.

UPDATE

According to the official arrest report reviewed by Boca Post, Investigators say that Jacqueline Herre coordinated a meeting with the victim in Lake Worth Beach who she believed gave her bad drugs several weeks prior which she almost died from. Jesse Klee, the boyfriend, previously broke into the victim’s home and heat him with a baseball bat.

On Monday night, July 25th, 2022, Klee, a convicted felon, purchased a handgun for $650 near Lantana road and I-95. Herre and Klee were hanging out at Klee’s place when they decided they were going to “jump” the victim. Herre admitted at some point Klee said he was going to “kill the mother fu*cker”.

The two jumped in Herre’s vehicle with two other individuals and headed to Lake Worth Beach. Herre spoke with the victim on the phone to coordinate another drug deal. When Herre approached the victim in her vehicle, Klee leaned over and shot him four times with the 9 MM handgun.

The group then proceeded back into Boca Raton where they were later seen at Oconnor’s bar at 9990 Sandalfoot Blvd in West Boca Raton about an hour after the murder. The cameras inside the bar show Herre, Klee, and two other individuals playing pool and ordering drinks from the bar. Herre and Klee are continuously affectionate within the bar, hugging and kissing throughout the night. At approximately 02:44 AM Herre, Klee, and the two other individuals are seen leaving the bar.

Herre said that they stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in West Boca Raton that night because they feared cops would be at Klee’s residence.

UPDATE

PBSO tells Boca Post that Herre was involved in the homicide in Lake Worth Beach that Boca Post reported on earlier this week. That shooting happened at approximately 12 am on Tuesday morning in Lake Worth Beach. Herre was then arrested by PBSO the following day for possession of Fentanyl and drug paraphernalia.

While the charge indicates pre-mediated murder, often times this is an inaccuracy caused by a bug in PBSO’s computer system. Boca Post will update this article as soon as more information about the homicide charge becomes available.
