Narrative:
Aircraft X checked on with sector 21; east of zfp. The route of flight was zfp BR21V pbi. At some point over or west of zfp; myself or the r-side dropped track (not rs'd (removed strip)) on aircraft X. The intruder was noticed and a manual handoff call to the walik controller at pbi was made prior to aircraft X entering pbi approach airspace. The aircraft was then tracked-up and track control transferred to pbi. Scan diligently for intruders and ensure track is being dropped on the correct aircraft.
