How they died
Deadly force
Romaine encountered police in a maroon Chevy Lumina. What started as a traffic stop developed into police discovering Romaine's outstanding warrants. When he crashed into a parked car, Romaine (according to police) first used his car as a weapon then pulled out a handgun. He was fatally shot. Police destroyed the Lumina in defiance of an order from a federal judge.
