Desean Menelas, a 20-year-old African American man from Boynton Beach, was shot and killed on November 19, 2017, at Caloosa Park during what investigators say was a drug-related transaction. Menelas met two people who intended to buy marijuana; one of them produced a firearm and fired multiple shots. He was taken to Delray Medical Center, where he died.

Police recovered nine spent shell casings from two different firearms, a .45-caliber and a 9mm. Communications on Menelas’ cellphone were consistent with a drug deal, and a number found on the phone helped trace an alleged shooter. A 17-year-old male from Riviera Beach, identified as Stephen Thal, was arrested by the U.S. Marshals South Florida Regional Task Force during a traffic stop in West Palm Beach and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm. Reports say Thal and an unidentified second suspect were involved; that second suspect has not been named in these details.

Desean’s death was recorded as the eighth confirmed homicide in Boynton Beach in 2017. Does anyone have information about the second person involved or recall seeing activity at Caloosa Park that night?
