Richard Romo, 45, will spend nearly nine years behind bars after he hit and killed 13-year-old Dylan Buensuceco, who was riding his bike home from school near Estrella Parkway and Elliot Road.
Romo was arrested days after the collision."Many people came forward with camera footage. Ultimately, that was key in solving this case," said Lisa Berry with the Goodyear Police Department, at the time of Romo's arrest.
He says Dylan always rode his bike to and home from school, but on April 26, he says he got a call from the school principal and rushed to the hospital, but it was too late.Throughout the day, dozens of people dropped off notes, stuffed animals, and candles at a makeshift memorial. Families were gathering to remember Dylan."He was very smart. He was more aware than your average 13-year-old. He had aspirations of being a medical doctor. I’m just going to miss him," Buensuceso said.
"Dylan’s family has asked for privacy at this time. I know you join me in expressing our sympathy, concern and prayers. Students react in different ways to tragedies such as this. As the adult caretakers, parents and guardians should expect, try to understand, and accept a variety of emotions and behaviors. The most important thing we can do is to be supportive, to encourage discussion, and to be good listeners," Booras said.
