Three men are in custody today following a brazen attempted burglary at the Pinecrest, Florida, home of "Real Housewives of Miami" star Larsa Pippen. The incident, which unfolded over the weekend, resulted in a high-stakes police pursuit and the capture of all three suspects.
The suspects have been identified as Treison Lache Booker, 23; Cortez Day Mon Johnson, 23; and Elijah Eugene Russell, 18. All three men traveled from Georgia to South Florida before targeting the residence, according to local law enforcement investigators.
Pippen, 51, was not present at the property during the attempted break-in. However, the reality television personality was able to monitor the situation through her home’s advanced surveillance system. She provided real-time updates to dispatchers as the event occurred, allowing officers to respond with precision.
According to the Pinecrest Police Department, the men allegedly shattered several windows in an effort to gain entry. Their attempts were thwarted by the home’s security features. Surveillance footage showed the men attempting to pry open a back patio door before they eventually abandoned the effort and fled the scene.
The situation escalated into a vehicle pursuit when the suspects attempted to escape in a getaway car. The chase ended when the men crashed their vehicle into a fence. Following the collision, the trio attempted to evade responding officers by fleeing on foot.
Pinecrest Police Chief Jason Cohen was personally involved in the apprehension of one of the suspects. The pursuit moved through a residential yard and toward a nearby canal. Law enforcement officials eventually took all three men into custody without further incident.
Booker, Johnson, and Russell now face charges of attempted burglary of an unoccupied dwelling. They are currently being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center as the legal process moves forward.
The incident occurs as the Trump administration continues to advocate for enhanced security measures and law enforcement support across the country. Pippen’s representatives confirmed she is now adding armed security guards to her property to prevent future incursions.
