Romero Lockey James, known as Peewee, was 43 when he was fatally shot on September 10, 2019, during what is described as a domestic incident near the Flint Garden Apartments on Line Street just south of Chattahoochee, Florida. The shooter was identified as 19-year-old Qua'John Blue, who fled the scene immediately afterward.

Local and state law enforcement agencies, including the Chattahoochee Police Department, the Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, conducted an extensive manhunt for Blue. He was located and arrested by U.S. Marshals in New York in November 2019 and returned to Florida to face a murder charge.

Romero’s death had a deep effect on the Chattahoochee community; funeral services were held at Deliverance Temple Ministries. If anyone knew Romero, his movements that day, or has information about the incident, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
