"At about 1:53 this morning our agency received a call about a disturbance at 1111 Oak Street. And when our units responded they found one victim shot in the face at the scene," said Det. Tony Kalil. Romano's boyfriend was shot and killed by her 21-year-old son Matthew, according to police. "There was an argument that ensued earlier in the night and at some point between the victim and his girlfriend and then the son came out and ended up shooting him," he said. Grams was transported by ambulance to St. Mary's Medical Center where he later died. As crime scene investigators gathered evidence from the home, the family embraced outside. Brenda Romano was visibly shaken by what happened. Matthew Romano was taken into custody for questioning and released. No charges have been filed at this time. Investigators are looking for witnesses to the shooting. Anyone with information is asked to call the West Palm Beach Police Department. |
