SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco's chief homicide investigator says a man and his two sons were gunned down in June because of mistaken identity and not road rage as originally suspected.

Twenty-one-year-old Edwin Ramos is accused of gunning down the three at an intersection after police said their car blocked the alleged shooter's vehicle.

Lt. Mike Stasko said Monday that investigators now believe the victims were mistaken for rival gang members.

Ramos has pleaded not guilty to murder in the deaths of 49-year-old Anthony Bologna and his sons, 20-year-old Michael and 16-year-old Matthew. Ramos' attorney says his client is not involved with gangs.

Outrage over the deaths grew when authorities revealed that Ramos is an illegal immigrant who avoided deportation despite previous brushes with the law.

It was murder...period.....and Gruesome Newsome helped pull the trigger...along with the creepy immigration lawyers

As if mistaken identity makes a difference! :x

Murder is murder and this was outright murder!

Here we go with the same Bull crap. The same excuse as in the Jamiel Shaw case, murderer confused victim with a gang member.

WTF is wrong with DA now a days!!! :?:

Yep...here they go...trying weasel or slide in or use a sleight hand to insinuate some kind of gang association that marked the Bologna's...as if that changes anything.

Wouldn't matter even if it were true - three American citizens were murdered in cold blood.

End...
Of...
Story...

...but of course, SF doesn't want it that way...

Fire Newsom. Fong, the Juvenile Probation Supe, and the Social Worker under him that alerted the boys in he care home to run...

:x

I will be terrified to find what other lies we are going to be fed about anything.

NO ONE IS SUPPOSE TO BE RUNNING AROUND IN THE STREET SHOOTING PEOPLE FOR ANY REASON. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH GUNS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO SHOOT AT. IT MATTERS NOT THAT THEY SHOT THE WRONG PEOPLE. ALL THIS MEANS IS THAT ON TOP OF BEING CRIMINALS....THEY ARE STUPID CRIMINALS.

Still murder. Still in the first degree, still 3 counts. Anything less is just another ultimate sell-out of the American People by their government officials.

As if mistaken identity makes a difference!

Murder is murder and this was outright murder

The mistake was San Francisco's sanctuary policy and not deporting that rotten bastard.

Dixie

It's just their way of trying to make the citizens of Sf feel safe and to not demand a complete reversal of the sanctuary policy. These people are so complacent, it's maddening. OH IT'S OK SAN FRANCISCANS! 3 OF YOUR FELLOW CITIZEND DEAD NOT BECAUSE OF OUR OPEN BORDERS LOBBYING AND SANCTUARY CITY POLICY! NO, NO NO, IT'S JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY!!!! SO FEEL SAFE!!! AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A GANG MEMBER, COME ACROSS ONE WITH A GUN DRIVING AROUND TOWN (IS THAT NOT AGAINST THE LAW???), AND SO ON AND SO FORTH YOU'RE SAFE! THE BOLGNA FAMILY NOT SO MUCH BUT WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN???

IN 3-2-1 WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BOLOGNA FAMILY HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. ALL IT PROVES IS GANG MEMBERS AND IA RULE THE STREETS AND INNOCENT CITIZENS ARE AT THE MERCY OF THEM AND THE GOVERNMENT.

JAMIEL SHAW ANYONE????

S.F. slaying of dad, sons called gang related

More... (07-28) 21:45 PDT -- The fatal shootings of a father and two sons in San Francisco's Excelsior district June 22 were not road-rage killings and instead were motivated by the killer's belief that his targets were in a rival gang, the head of the police homicide unit said Monday.

"We know it is gang related," Lt. Mike Stasko told the Board of Supervisors' Public Safety Committee. Stasko said the victims, Tony Bologna, 48, and his sons, Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16, were attacked because of their appearance.

"Apparently, the people in the car were similar to Hispanic males, and they were targeted because of (seemingly) being Hispanic males.

"It had nothing to do with road rage," Stasko said.

The Bolognas were gunned down in their Honda Civic as they were heading home from a Sunday afternoon family barbecue in Fairfield. Edwin Ramos, 21, has pleaded not guilty to triple murder charges.

Police initially said the shooting was the product of road rage after a chance encounter between the two drivers. Tony Bologna had to stop his car on narrow Congdon Street and blocked the path of a car that was turning onto the street, police said.

As Stasko, who coached youth basketball with Bologna, described it the day after the shootings, the other driver stared at Bologna, who backed up his car to let the other vehicle by. The driver then drove alongside and, without a word, opened fire.

But on Monday, Stasko told reporters the Bolognas were attacked because the killer mistook the victims for gang members. The Bologna boys, he said, had short hair and were wearing baseball caps sideways.

Stasko said Monday the shootings remain under investigation.

Police have said they believe Ramos belongs to MS-13, a street gang with ties to his native El Salvador. Federal authorities said deportation proceedings against him were pending at the time of the slayings. But his lawyer, Robert Amparan, said last week that Ramos was in the United States legally.

The Chronicle reported earlier that Ramos committed an assault and an attempted robbery as an illegal immigrant at age 17, but the city's juvenile justice authorities did not turn him over to the federal government for possible deportation.

I agree Dixie. The issue is San Francisco's sanctuary city policy that shields dangerous illegal alien gang members. Bottom line: if these flawed policies weren't in effect and govt was doing its job, these three citizens would still be alive.

1. Gang related murders should make it a death penalty case.

2. It's ok for an illegal alien scum to racially profile people, but if it's not ok for law enforcement to do it?

3. Isn't it a felony for an illegal alien to possess a gun? Wasn't there an Arab student who is being deported for posing with a gun?

4. He MUST get the death penalty! No excuses!

Oh, so the gang members just want to blow each other's brains out thats it. Well, gather them all up, put them in the desert and let them have at it.
:x

The more these officials come out and speak the more I feel the crazies are running the asylum. It's excuse after excuse as if it's okay to kill people just because the Ia gang member thought they were rival gang members??? I highly doubt it! These people were normal citizens coming from a picnic and you're telling me they looked like gang members? Were they wearing bandanas? Have tatoos? Socks up to their cut off shorts??? wife beaters on? It's BS...Basically any mexican looking person isn't safe...

Why do they keep saying that he is in the country LEGALLY??????????

That should be an easy one to prove/disprove :?
