Clerk Executed During Check Store Robbery: BSO

Armed robbery suspect might not survive injuries

Authorities released more chilling details that give a glimpse of the final moments of check cashing store clerk who was killed during an attempted robbery in Broward.

Clairemathe Geffrard, 25, made two phone calls to co-workers before being shot in the head by Stanley Beasley inside The Check Cashing Store, an arrest report released Wednesday stated.

Geffrard did not survive and Beasley is clinging to life in a local hospital after Broward Sheriff's Office deputies shot him in the parking lot as he tried to escape, the report stated.

A BSO detective told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Geffrard was essentially executed.

If Beasley survives, the 33-year-old will be charged with murder, armed robbery and armed kidnapping.

According to the arrest report, Geffrard was in the process of making her scheduled phone call to Yolanda Metelus to tell the fellow employee that she had arrived safely to open the business at 9:30 a.m.

But as Metelus and Geffrard were on the phone, Beasley ambushed Geffrard and demanded the woman to open the door, Metelus told detectives, the report read.

Metelus called 911 and as police responded to the scene at 2927 W. Sunrise Blvd, Geffrard made another phone call to a co-worker, Djefnie Pericles, at around 10 a.m., the report stated.

"Tell the police to leave. He's got a gun to my head," the 25-year-old mother told Pericles before hanging up.

Moments later, Beasley was locked in a gun fight with authorities.

Inside, Geffrard was suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Another man, Jorge Aguilar, was also shot as he stood across the street from the crime scene, the report stated. Authorities said he was an innocent bystander.

Aguilar is in critical condition.

After being shot, Beasley allegedly told deputies, "I was by myself. I did it myself."
