Four years after San Antonio boxer was killed, his mom is not giving up on justice

George Ramos was shot multiple times at around 1:44 p.m. on June 20, 2019

SAN ANTONIO ā€“ Four years after the death of 18-year-old boxer George Ramos, San Antonio police are still searching for his killer.

ā€œWhoever has information on my son, find it in their heart to come out and speak out and help us close this case,ā€ said Jessica Ramos, Georgeā€™s mother.

Jessica is also doing what she can to keep her sonā€™s case on peopleā€™s minds.

On Sunday, she held a balloon release at San Fernando Cemetery in Georgeā€™s honor. Those in attendance remembered the good times but were also reminded of the life and potential that got cut short.

ā€œOur focus was getting him to be a pro boxer, and he made it pro. He was 2-0. The family was important to him; he loved the family, all of us here. He wanted five kids. We discussed how many kids he was going to have,ā€ said Jessica.

George was shot multiple times at around 1:44 p.m. on June 20, 2019, while he was inside his white Ford Expedition at a Shell gas station in the 10100 block of Culebra Road.

Surveillance video previously released by SAPD showed a man going to the Expedition, exiting it, and then driving off in a red four-door sedan.

ā€œI am just asking if you were there, did you see who did this to my son? We just need that piece of the puzzle to close this case. I donā€™t know where the detective is, I donā€™t know where this case lands,ā€ said Jessica.

San Antonio police are asking for the publicā€™s help in identifying the shooter. Tips can be made by calling Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP.
