There continues to be a great deal of criminal justica and legal news coming out of California in general and the city of Los Angeles in particular. According to various media reports a man identified as Edwin Ramos age 21 of El Sobrante was arrested for the alleged shooting of a father and his two sons over what is believed to be a traffic incident.
The man who was shot has been identified as Tony Bologna along with his son Michael and son Mathew.
The shooting occurred when Bologna, while driving along with his two son´s in his vehicle on their way home on Congdon Street at approximately 3:00 p.m. apparently blocked another vehicle from making a left turn. When Bologna realized this he backed up to allow the car to make its turn. This is when the shooting took place. Both Tony Bologna and his son Michael were pronounced dead at the scene and son Mathew was transported to San Francisco General Hospital where he died several days later from his gun shot wounds.
It has been reported that the authorities believe Ramos to be an active member of the MS-13 gang which is gang with members now found all over the country but based in Central America. it is considered one of the most violent gangs in the United States, if not the most violent overall. During his arrest which occurred at his home the authorities issued a warrant and searched the home in the 4300 block of Hilltop Drive. They found a machete, assault pistol and knives (I am surprised they did not find brass knuckles and throwing stars) but they did not find the actual gun used in the shootings. At the time of the arrest Ramos was charged with murder. Information regarding the shootings was given to the police by another man who was arrested and named Ramos as being involved in the Bologna shootings.

Ramos, who is currently being represented by attorney O´Sullivan stated that Ramos is a family man with an 11 month old child and a construction worker. He went on to state that the MS-13 gang is a soccer club and Ramos had no involvement in the shootings. Of course, what family man do you know who doesn't gun down 3 folks over a traffic incident on his way to a family picnic.
