The car was started and my dad pulled out the fuel pump relay switch out as the car was on and running. The car immediately stopped running and has not started since. Is it depressurized? Do I need a new fuel pump? Sensor? HELP!

Thanx!

The fuel pump can and does fail at the mileage you reported. It is in the tank and is accessed from under the rear seat, passenger side. Try tapping on it while cranking to start and it may come back to life. Replace even if it does work after tapping on it.
