Bond Set for Driver Charged in April Delray Beach Crash That Killed Four

Deputies say Jazmin M. Shope faces four vehicular homicide counts stemming from a high-speed collision near the Polo Club Shops.

Overview

  • At her first appearance Wednesday, Judge Donald Hafele set Shope’s bond at $300,000 with house arrest, no driving without a court order, and no contact with victims’ next of kin or her passenger.
  • Shope, 20, of Auburndale, was booked into the Palm Beach County jail on Tuesday in connection with the April 21 crash.
  • A PBSO crash report says Shope was driving a 2013 Ford Taurus at high speed on South Military Trail when it struck the passenger side of a 2017 Genesis G90 turning left into the shopping plaza.
  • After the impact, the Genesis hit a concrete utility pole and Shope’s car caught fire; Shope and passenger Ethan Ryan Litman were hospitalized with serious injuries.
  • The four people in the Genesis—James L. Rose, 88; Arlene Rose, 87; Gerald A. Levy, 92; and Thelma I. Levy, 93—were pronounced dead at the scene.
