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.
“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.”
