A suspended Florida attorney accused of fatally shooting his father after stealing $450,000 from his mother’s trust fund earlier this year was found dead in his jail cell early Wednesday morning.
Brandon Labiner, 34, died of suicide by hanging inside the Palm Beach County jail, police officials told WPTV.
He has been held in jail without bond since he was arrested and charged in the July murder of his father Paul Labiner, 68.
Labiner was taken into custody pending an active warrant for his arrest in Broward County, police said at the time.
In October, Labiner was indicted and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and tampering with or tampering with physical evidence.
Labiner is scheduled to appear before Circuit Court Judge Cymonie Rowe for a status check-in on Nov. 28 in West Palm Beach, according to court documents.

Although officials have withheld the name of Labiner’s victim, a probable cause affidavit revealed a man’s body was found covered in blood in a Boca Raton parking garage in an office building attached to the building that houses Paul Labiner’s law firm.
Surveillance footage from multiple locations was used to link Brandon Labiner to the July 1 fatal shooting.
The footage shows the suspect driving around the building at 2 p.m., and the same individual riding a bicycle to Paul Labiner’s office an hour later carrying a drawstring bag before removing a box containing a gun.
The man in the video waited for forty minutes until a second man appeared and the two engaged in a struggle that left them out of the camera’s view before the first man fled.

A family member of the victim found the body, which police said had gunshot wounds to the head and upper chest and two gunshot wounds to the lower body, according to WPTV.
The police investigation also found a .9mm bullet casing lying next to the victim’s body, three more live bullets were found near the entrance to the footpath and one live bullet was found in a bin in the parking garage.
In April, the Florida bar suspended Brandon Labiner’s law license after Paul Labiner filed a complaint and accused his son of stealing $450,000 from his mother’s trust fund.

The two were partners in Paul Labiner’s firm dating back to the 1980s until June of last year, when Paul Labiner filed a civil suit against his son, alleging his poor work performance cost the firm business and Brandon Labiner stole from the company.
