Boynton Beach Brothers Killed in Targeted Office Shooting Linked to $5 Million Fraud Case

Investigators identified 39-year-old Nesar Dawla as the gunman who died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot after a brief police chase.

Overview

  • Police said Charles Geragi, 67, and Richard Geragi, 72, owners of All-American Farms in the 2400 block of High Ridge Road, were fatally shot inside their office Monday afternoon.
  • Detectives said the victims had arranged a meeting with Nesar Dawla to discuss repaying funds tied to a 2024 fraud case involving his brother, when Dawla produced a firearm and opened fire.
  • Witnesses reported Dawla fleeing in a white Cadillac SUV; officers attempted a high‑risk stop after a citizen tip, a short pursuit ended near Leisureville Boulevard, and he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
  • Records show the case is linked to the conviction of Sadman Dawla, who admitted writing hundreds of unauthorized checks totaling more than $5 million to $5.5 million, with his sentencing set for Jan. 15.
  • Boynton Beach police said the investigation remains active, precautionary lockdowns at nearby schools and businesses were lifted, and tips are being directed to Detective Gleicher.
