Fallen Officer: Palm Beach Gardens Police Officer Alexi Anthony Breiner Killed in Motorcycle Crash

Palm Beach County, FL — June 21, 2025 — A wave of mourning has swept through the Palm Beach Gardens community and the broader law enforcement family after Officer Alexi Anthony Breiner, a dedicated member of the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, was tragically killed in a motorcycle crash on Saturday morning.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Officer Breiner was traveling westbound when his motorcycle suffered a catastrophic mechanical issue described as a “high-speed wobble.” The sudden instability caused the motorcycle to overturn, veering off the roadway and crashing into a tree. The crash occurred in the early hours of Saturday, June 21, and despite emergency efforts, Officer Breiner succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

He was off-duty at the time of the accident.

Officer Breiner was young, committed, and deeply respected by his peers and community. Known for his integrity, calm presence, and unwavering devotion to duty, his passing has left a devastating void in the department and in the lives of those who knew and served alongside him.

“Rest easy, brother,” one colleague wrote on social media, a message echoed in hundreds of tributes pouring in from across South Florida and beyond. “You were one of the good ones. We’ve got the watch from here.”

The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department issued a heartfelt statement Saturday evening, expressing their sorrow and honoring Officer Breiner’s memory:

“It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the untimely passing of Officer Alexi Anthony Breiner. He served this community with distinction, bravery, and compassion. We send our deepest condolences to his family — both by blood and in blue. May his legacy be remembered and his sacrifice never forgotten.”

The sheriff’s office is continuing to investigate the exact cause of the crash. Preliminary findings suggest the high-speed wobble may have been a result of a mechanical failure, but officials have not yet confirmed whether any additional factors — such as road conditions or other vehicles — played a role.

Officer Breiner’s death is the latest in a troubling pattern of motorcycle-related fatalities involving law enforcement officers, sparking renewed conversations about rider safety and vehicle integrity. But to those who knew him, this isn’t about statistics — it’s about the heartbreaking loss of a man who lived to serve and protect.

Friends, family members, and fellow officers have already begun gathering to support one another and share memories of the fallen officer. Described by those close to him as loyal, courageous, and full of heart, Officer Breiner was more than a uniform — he was a friend, a mentor, and a son.

A memorial service is expected to be announced in the coming days, where members of law enforcement from around the state and across the country are expected to attend to pay their respects.

For now, the badge is draped in black. The patrol car sits silent. And a community grieves the loss of a hero taken too soon.

Rest in peace, Officer Alexi Anthony Breiner. Your service, your sacrifice, and your memory will never be forgotten.
