On May 13, 2022, police say Romen Phelps crashed through the gates of Dreyfoos School of the Arts and endangered people on campus before being shot and killed by a West Palm Beach police officer. Family and friends of Phelps are calling for all the evidence from that day to become available.
Phelps was fatally shot by an off-duty West Palm police officer after Phelps crashed a van through the gates of his former school and ran inside.
“The evidence in this case indisputably shows that Phelps’ behavior created an extremely unsettling and dangerous situation at a public school, during school hours,” Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg wrote in the May 3 letter to Chief Frank Adderley. “...the officer’s use of deadly force was objectively reasonable under the circumstances.”
