Police identify victims in fatal shooting as family, seek suspects

Fresno police on Saturday, Oct. 7 identified the three victims of a shooting that left a father dead on Oct. 2 in northwest Fresno.

Roberto Ramos, 52, was killed after he and his wife, Irma Ramos, 52, and son Jacob Ramos, 20, were shot outside their home in the 5000 block of West Fir Avenue.

After investigating, Fresno police Sgt. Andre Benson said the family is not involved in gangs or criminal activity and that the shooting was “a violent attack on unsuspecting victims and displays a complete disregard for human life.”
