Yes, Romeo ran away to Mantua when he was banished, but he came back to Verona when he heard Juliet had died. He killed himself in her family tomb. She killed (re-killed?) herself shortly after.
Their families said they'd raise a monument to them and probably kept them in town.
p.s. It was all Friar Lawrence's fault.
