📝 Useful Information

While there is no single official event titled "The Dispute," the phrase most likely refers to a deadly Homeowners Association (HOA) dispute in Port St. Lucie that gained national attention in late 2025.

This incident involved a long-standing feud between a resident and his HOA board in the Sandhill Crossing community.

More recently, on February 16, 2026, another neighbor dispute on SW Lake Park Drive turned violent.
