Khamis Shatara was 21 when he was fatally shot at his home in Delray Beach, Florida, on December 24, 2014. The shooting occurred during a domestic dispute and involved his father, Shatara K. Shatara, an off-duty deputy with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office. Khamis was a student at Palm Beach State College who hoped to become a police officer.

The incident was treated as an officer-involved shooting and the Delray Beach Police Department led the investigation. The elder Shatara was briefly detained, then released and placed on paid administrative leave. No arrests or charges had been announced, and the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner’s autopsy results were expected to take months as they proceeded through the District Attorney’s Office.

Key questions remain about the circumstances that led to the shooting and the timeline of the investigation. If anyone knew Khamis or witnessed the events that night, please share information with investigators.
