What we have learned so far in the course of this investigation is that Ramos had left from inside his room and went near a mango tree and it is alleged that a male person came from out of an orange orchard that was located across the street and fired several shots in his direction, fatally wounding him before retreating back into the orange orchard. No motive has been established in this ongoing investigation.”
