Gang member kills man and 2 sons over Traffic Altercation

More criminal justice news from California. A person identified as Edwin Ramos,21, of El Sobrante has been taken into custody for the apparent killing of a father and his two sons over what is said to be a mere traffic altercation.
The individual who was killed has been identified as Tony Bologna along with his son Michael and other son Mathew. Additional legal news may be found over at
Los Angeles Travel and Legal News These killings happened when Bologna with his two son’s in his vehicle were on their way home on Congdon Street at approximately 3:00 p.m. when he blocked another vehicle from making a left turn. When Bologna realized this he backed up to permit the vehicle 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 passed away a few days later from the wounds. All in all, this case sort of reminds me about the meth crimes commited by Sam Lincoln recently as reported another

It has been stated that the authorities believe Ramos to be an active member of the MS-13 gang.

This particular street gang, based in El Salvador but now spread across much of North America and in particular Los Angeles and the US prison system as well, is considered by many experts to be possibly the most dangerous of all gangs operating in the city which is responsible for a wide array of murders nationwide. During his arrest that occurred at his home police issued a warrant and searched the home in the 4300 block of Hilltop Drive. They found a machete, assault pistol and knives but they did not find the gun used in the shootings. At the time of the arrest Ramos was charged with murder, information in the shootings was given to police by another man who was arrested and named Ramos as being involved in the Bologna shootings.

For his part, Ramos and his lawyer claims had no involvement in the assault. Of course most family men I know are prpeared to blast away an entire family over a minor traffic altercation.
